Answer: $218.79

Explanation:

$220 is the marked price.

You pay a 10 % discount. =>

1/10 x 220 = $22 discount.

Subtract this from your marked price to get the remainder.

$220 - $22= $198.

There is a 10.5% service charge =>

10.5% of $198 = $20.79 for service charge.

Thus,

$198 + $20.79 = $218.79 which is the total pay for the ticket.

Hope this helps! :)
