Question

Kyle wants to go to a big concert coming up. The original price of the ticket is $81, but with taxes and fees, the price goes up to $99.63. Find the percent increase on the ticket price.?

Answer 1

The percent increase on the ticket price is 23%

Explanation:

we know that

The original price of the ticket is $81

The price goes up to $99.63 with taxes and fees,

In this problem

$81 represent the 100%

so

using proportion

Find out the percent increase for the difference ($99.63-$81=$18.63)

Let

x -----> the percent increase

`(\$81)/(100\%)=(\$18.63)/(x)\\\\x=100\%(18.63)/81\\\\x=23\%`

therefore

The percent increase on the ticket price is 23%
