Emily and a friend bought two tickets to see a soccer game. Each ticket cost $8.25. The friends paid a total of $24.50, which included a fee per ticket for parking near the stadium.
a) How much did each friend pay for the parking fee?
b) What is the parking fee as a percent increase in the cost of a ticket?

Respuesta :

24.50 - (8.25*2)=8.00/2=$4.00 each
-51.5%
a. $24.50 - $16.50 = $8 /2 = $4 each friend paid for parking fee

b. $8.25 X 2 = $16.50 Cost of the tickets
$24.50 - $16.50 = $8 increase
% increase = $8 ÷ 16.50 X 100
% increase = 48.48%
