First, let's calculate the price after the discount. Isaac received a 20% discount on the original ticket price of $50. Discount amount: \( 0.20 \times 50 = 10 \) Price after discount: \( 50 - 10 = 40 \) Next, we calculate the 10% processing fee applied to the discounted price of $40. Processing fee amount: \( 0.10 \times 40 = 4 \) Finally, we find the total price Isaac paid after applying the processing fee: \( 40 + 4 = 44 \) Now, to determine how much less Isaac paid compared to the original price of $50: \( 50 - 44 = 6 \) To find the percentage saved from the original price: \( \left(\frac{6}{50}\right) \times 100 = 12 \) Isaac's concert ticket was less than the original price by approximately \( 12\% \).
