Question

Baseball tickets cost $15 for general admission or $20 for box seats. the sales tax on each ticket is 8%. What is the final cost of each type of ticket

Answer 1

the final cost of a box seat ticket is $21.60.

Explanation:

To calculate the final cost of each type of ticket, we need to add the sales tax to the original ticket prices.

For the general admission ticket:

Original price = $15

Sales tax = 8% of $15 = 0.08 * $15 = $1.20

Final cost of general admission ticket = Original price + Sales tax = $15 + $1.20 = $16.20

Therefore, the final cost of a general admission ticket is $16.20.

For the box seat ticket:

Original price = $20

Sales tax = 8% of $20 = 0.08 * $20 = $1.60

Final cost of box seat ticket = Original price + Sales tax = $20 + $1.60 = $21.60

Therefore, the final cost of a box seat ticket is $21.60.
