6. Raymond purchases concert tickets online
for $43.50. There is a 3% processing fee.
What is the total cost of the tickets? Round
to the nearest cent. (Example 3)

Answer 1

$44.81

Explanation:

Multiplying $43.50 by 1 yields the base price of the ticket (price of one ticket).

Multiplying $43.50 by 0.03 yields the tax on this amount.

Multiplying $43.50 by (1 + 0.03) yields the total unit cost of the tickets:

(1.03)($43.50) = $44.81 (which has been rounded up to the nearest cent)
