Question

The price of a ticket to the circus this year is 10% more than the price of a ticket to the circus last year. If the variable t represents the ticket price for the circus last year, which of the following methods will produce the ticket price for the circus this year?

A subtract 10 from t
B multiply t with 1.1
C multiply t with 0.1
D add t with 10

Answer 1

Option B multiply t with 1.1

Explanation:

Let

t------> the ticket price for the circus last year

x-----> the ticket price for the circus this year

we know that

`100\%+10\%=110\%=110/100=1.10`

so

`x=1.10(t)`

therefore

The ticket price for the circus this year is equal to the ticket price for the circus last year multiplied by 1.10
