Question

The local theater is raising ticket prices by 20%. Assuming the current youth ticket price is $7.50, find out how much more the youth tickets will cost. Please Help! This is due tomorrow! I just need to know how to do it not the answer.

Answer 1

In order to solve this, you need to add 20% of the $7.50 TO the $7.50.
First, multiply 0.20 x $7.50 = $1.50
Then, add the $1.50 to the original $7.50 because the price is increasing by 20%, so the new price of the ticket is $9.00
