Question

A ticket agency charges a 9.5% fee on all tickets sold. if a ticket costs $40, what is the fee?

Answer 1

4.22 you just divide 40 by 9.5. I think...

Answer 2

to find a percent of money taken from the $40 than you have to multiply it by the percent you are trying to find 9.5%(.095)
40*.095=fee
40*.095=3.8
so the agency charges $3.80 for one $40 ticket
