If you want to decrease an amount by 23% then you should use the formula,
x - (x *23)/100
Answer:
$12.72 or $25.44
Step-by-step explanation:
if he buys 2 tickets that are $12 each. half of 12 is 6 so you will have to pay 12 plus tax(6%). to find tax you would multiply 12 x .06 which would be $12.72. if it say the tickets are half off from $24 being $12 each then the answer would be $25.44. the question dosent specify that.

The total cost after the discount and taxes would be $13.44.
To find the total cost after the discount and taxes, we first need to determine the discount amount.
Since the tickets are on sale for 1/2 price, the discount would be half of the original cost of the tickets.
So the discount amount would be 1/2 * $12 * 2 = $12.
Next, we need to calculate the sales tax, which is 6% of the original cost of the tickets.
The sales tax would be 0.06 * $12 * 2 = $1.44.
Finally, we can calculate the total cost by adding the original cost of the tickets, the sales tax, and subtracting the discount amount.
The total cost would be $12 * 2 + $1.44 - $12 = $13.44.
