Jack has 40 tickets out of which 60% have Princess Lisa's image printed on it.
60% of 40 = (0.6)(40) = 24
So, 24 of the 40 tickets have Princess Lisa's image
Jack's father gave him 60 more tickets out of which 25% were WITHOUT Princess Lisa's image
In other words, Jack's father gave him 60 more tickets out of which 75% were WITH Princess Lisa's image
75% of 60 = (0.75)(60) = 45
So, 45 of the 60 tickets have Princess Lisa's image
What percent of the total tickets with Jack have Princess Lisa's image on them?
Total number of cards = 40 + 60 = 100
Total number of cards with Princess Lisa's image = 24 + 45 = 69
69/100 = 69%
Answer: D

Jack initially had 40 tickets of which 60% had Princess Lisa's image on them.
60% of \(40 = 0.6*40 = 24\)
Now Jack's father gave him 60 more tickets out of which 25% were WITHOUT Princess Lisa's image on them.
But, nowhere in the question does it say that the remaining 75% are supposed to be with Princess Lisa's image, not there is anything hinting towards that.
Now, Jack has a total of 100 tickets with him. But the number of tickets with guaranteed Princess Lisa's image on them is 24. But the overall count is ambiguous.
Even if we consider that the remaining 75% of tickets Jack's father gave are WITHOUT Princess Lisa's image on them. The percentage we get is \(\frac{24}{100}*100 = 24%\)
So my Answer is E
I would like anyone's view if I am missing any crucial hint in the question.
