Question

Before the advance-purchase deadline the cost of attending a particular event is $85. After that the price increases 40%.What is the cost then.?

Answer 1

After the increment in price the cost of attending the event
`=\$ 119`

Explanation:

Before the purchase deadline the cost
`=\$ 85`

Now after the deadline the cost have increases
`40 \%`

So this increment is incurred with the initial cost of attending the event.

We have to to find what is exactly
`40\%` of
`\$85`

So
`40\% =(40)/(100)=0.40`

Then we will multiply this with the initial cost.

Increment,
`=0.40* \$85 =\$34`

Now the cost after the increment
`=(\$85+\$34)=\$119`

Final cost of attending the particular event
`=\$119`.
