The cost per ticket cost #$15.60#

So if we divide #20/100# we get #0.20# percent. So we multiply that by #$156# which gives us #31.20#.

So we subtract #156-31.20# which is #124.8#

But we now subtract #156-124.8# which gives us #31.2# so #31.2# divided by #2# is #15.60#.

So we have #15.60# (twice as Mr.Jones brought 2 tickets) and 124.80. So if we add them like this: #15.60+15.60+124.80# we would get #156#
