So, the total charge for buying the tickets £100.98

Answer 2

The total charge that Cheryl will have to pay if she uses her credit card to pay for the tickets will be £100.98

Step-by-step explanation

Price of each adult ticket is £12 and price of each child ticket is £6

Cheryl rings the booking office to buy 6 adult tickets and 3 child tickets. So, the total price of all tickets
`= \£(12*6)+\£(6*3)=\£72+\£18=\£90`

She is told that a 10% booking fee will be added to the ticket price. So, the price of the tickets including the booking fee
`=\£90+(\£90*0.10)=\£90+\£9=\£99`

Now, 2% extra charge will then be added if she is paying by credit card. So, the amount of this extra charge
`= \£99*0.02=\£1.98`

So, the total charge for buying the tickets
`=\£99+\£1.98=\£100.98`
