"I understand that math is a required skill for this role. To figure out a child's fare to Barbados, I would take 900 minus 25%, which is 675. From there, I would add 67.50, which is the 10% in commission and fees, to 675, making a child's ticket 742.50."

"I am accustomed to making math calculations at work, and have strong calculation skills, even under pressure. Because 75% of 900 is 675, I would add the 10% commission and fees to 675. The total for a child's fare to Barbados is 742.50."
