Answer 1

6% of 5.50 would be .33 so the total amount would be $5.83

Answer 2

$5.83 must receive in total to give a customer a ticket .

Explanation:

As given

A seat to a musical costs $5.50.

To that amount must be added a 6% entertainment tax.

6% is written in the decimal form

`= (6)/(100)`

= 0.06

Entertainment tax price = 0.06 × Musical seat cost

= 0.06 × 5.50

= $ 0.33

Thus

Total cost of the musical seat cost = Musical seat cost + Entertainment tax

Put all the values in the above

Total cost of the musical seat cost = $5.50 + $0.33

= $5.83

Therefore $5.83 must receive in total to give a customer a ticket .
