Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Because the show starts after 12:00 pm, the man would receive no discount and would have to pay the regular admission price.
$2.50 is incorrect. This amount represents the total amount of discount possible for students. 
$5.00 is incorrect. If the movie started before noon, this would be the correct admission price for a 70-year-old man. However, the man wants to see the 1:15 showing, so no discount applies. 
$7.50 is incorrect. This amount represents the discounted ticket price for students.
