ah okay, I can see how you may have thought that. As the promotion is for 80% off return flights, you would also need an outbound ticket to then have a return ticket. As the friends haven't travelled yet, it's safe to presume the friend is joining them for the whole trip.
@@AssessmentDayLtd 5 th friend is joining them for the whole trip.. if this is correct then the total fare will be 5*80 (inbound) = 400 5*80 (*0.2 -80 %) discount . 480 .. why are we calculating for 4 friends when 5 are traveling.. 800 is the total fare (5 friends inbound and outbound).. return flight = 80.. 480/800 = 0.6 - 1 = 40% so they saved 320 no.. or did i get the question wrong?

Wait, wait .... so many questions... First, what is the original fare? Only if the 4 friends went together or if the 5 friends went together without the discount offer? Second, where does the 5th friend come from? Are they doing a two-way travel or do the 4 friends pick them up from the Isle of Man? All of these questions do not allow you to give a definite answer since they are not specified as required information in the math problem.
When you are calculating percentage decrease, 80% becomes 0.2 as a decimal (100 - 80 = 20 / 100). And so, when you are calculating a percentage decrease of 80%, you do not multiply by 0.8, but rather, by 0.2, as multiplying by 0.8 would give you a percentage of 80%, which is not the question.
Let's assume that you are told to calculate a percentage decrease of 45% from 50. You will minus 45 from 100 (55), divide 55 by 100 (0.55). The calculation will be 50 x 0.55 = 27.5.
I don't mean to be rude but the question is phrased poorly. I read it to mean that the 4 original passengers got the 80% discount not the friend.
how can this be done in 1min!??
exactly my thought
the whole scanio is wrong and doesnt make sense with the answer.
Nothing about this is complex other than unreasonable timings
What confused me about this question is whether to include the fare for the friend when calculating the outbound flight.

Im so confused
I dont get it where did 0.2 come from ???
means 20 percent because in return, they will pay only 20% of the fare with a discount of 80%.
When you are calculating percentage decrease, 80% becomes 0.2 as a decimal (100 - 80 = 20 / 100). And so, when you are calculating a percentage decrease of 80%, you do not multiply by 0.8, but rather, by 0.2, as multiplying by 0.8 would give you a percentage of 80%, which is not the question.

I don't understand how any candidate is expected to answer this within a minute
