t = the cost of the ticket which is $72 without tax.

The equation s(sale after tax) = t + 0.03t, is for the ticket after tax, represented as s.

Now apply the equation to find the cost for the ticket after tax :


s= 72 + (0.03)(72) = 74.16 \: dollars

So the final answer is $74.16

I hope this helps.
