Answer 1

A. What is the percent of change from last year to this year.

Answer: The percent of change from last year to this year is:

`(10.00 - 8.50)/(8.50) * 100`

`(1.50)/(8.50) * 100`

`17.65 \%`

Therefore, the percent change from last year to this year is 17.65%

B. Is this a percent increase or decrease?

Answer: This is a percent increase.

C. If you have 25% off coupon to use on 10.00 ticket what is the cost?

Answer: The 25% of 10.00 is given below:

`(25)/(100) * 10.00`

`0.25 * 10.00`

`2.5`

Therefore, the cost is:

`10.00 -2.5 =7.5`
