Question

The ticket price for an ice hockey match used to cost £19.60. The price has now increased by 12.5%. How much will 2 tickets cost after the increase?

Answer 1

The 2 tickets will cost £44.10 after the increase.

Explanation:

First, you have to multiply £19.60 by 12.5% to find the increase in the cost of tickets.

`19.60(0.125)=2.45`

Add the price increase to the original cost to find the new cost of each ticket.

`19.60+2.45=22.05`

Multiply the result by 2 since you have to look for the cost of the 2 tickets.

`22.05(2)=44.10`
