24) Three plane tickets to New York cost $2,472. If each plane ticket costs the same amount, about how much does one ticket cost? How much would the airline discount each ticket for the new total to be $2,400?
Estimate: $2,400/3 = $800; The regular price - discounted total ($2,472 - $2,400 = $72); And $72/3 = $24. So, each ticket is discounted $24.
