is searching online for airline tickets. Two weeks​ ago, the cost to fly from Hartford to Boston was ​$210. Now the cost is ​$310. What is the percent​ increase? What would be the percent increase if the airline charges an additional​ $50 baggage fee with the new ticket​ price?

Answer 1

Percent Increase= 47.619% increase, With $50 baggage fee= 71.4286% increase

Explanation:

Answer 2

The original price of the ticket was $210 and the new price is $310.

To find the percentage increase, we can use the formula:

percentage increase = (new price - old price) / old price * 100%

So, the percentage increase in the ticket price is:

percentage increase = (310 - 210) / 210 * 100% = 47.62%

Therefore, the ticket price has increased by 47.62%.

If the airline charges an additional $50 baggage fee with the new ticket price of $310, then the new price will be $360.

To find the new percentage increase, we can use the same formula:

percentage increase = (new price - old price) / old price * 100%

So, the percentage increase in the ticket price with the additional $50 baggage fee is:

percentage increase = (360 - 210) / 210 * 100% = 71.43%

Therefore, the ticket price has increased by 71.43% with the additional $50 baggage fee.
