Question

last year the cost of a season ticket for a rugby club £370. This year the cost of a season ticket for the club has been increase to £450. write down the increase in the cost of season ticket as a fraction of last years cost.

Answer 1

`(80)/(370)` OR
`(8)/(37)`

Explanation:

So first you find the difference between the new cost and the old cost:

450 - 370 = 80

So the increase was 80.

When you write it as a fraction you write the increase ( 80 ) over the starting cost ( 370 ).

Thus the answer becomes
`(80)/(370)`

But you can always reduce it to its lowest terms thus:

`(8)/(37)`
