Answer: $190.80

Work: (4 people) x $45 (cost per ticket)= $180

$180 is the total cost before the sales tax, so to find the sales tax:

$180 x .06 ( percent in decimal form)= $10.80

Now we add the sales tax to the total cost for the 4 tickets:
$180+ $10.80= $190.80

$45 x 4 = $180

$180 / 100 = $1.80 (1%)

X 106

= $190.80
