Answer 1

15% = $0.15
0.15 * 8 = $1.20
$8 + $1.20 = $9.20

The movie ticket is now $9.20.

Answer 2

Answer: The required new price of the movie ticket is $9.2.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the cost of a movie ticket increased by 15% and the old price was $8.

We are to find the new price of the ticket.

Let $x represents the new price of the movie ticket.

Then, according to the given information, we have

`x\\\\=8+15\%* 8\\\\\\=8+(15)/(100)* 8\\\\=8+1.2\\\\=9.2.`

Thus, the required new price of the movie ticket is $9.2.
