Question

Last year's average ticket price was £22. This year, the average ticket price has increased by 5%. what is the average price of this year's ticket

Answer 1

5/100*22=1.1

22+1.1=23.10

year’s ticket = 23.10

Answer 2

Find 5% of £22, then add it to £22.

To find a percent of a number, multiply the percent by the number. To change the percent into a decimal, divide the percent by 100.

5% of £22 = 5% * £22 = 0.05 * £22 = £1.10

5% of £22 is £1.10.

Now we add £1.10 to £22.

£22 + £1.10 = £23.10

Answer: £23.10
