Question

Charlotte buys a ticket to go to a baseball game. The total includes a charge of​ 7% of the original price for extra fees. If Charlotte pays a total of​ $44.94, how much was the original price of the​ ticket?

Answer 1

$41.7942

Explanation:

First you need to change 7% into a decimal (you do this by dividing it by 100)

7÷100=0.07

Then, you multiply 0.07 with 44.94

0.07×44.94=3.1458

3.1458 is the amount for the extra fees.

After that, you subtract 44.94 with 3.1458

44.94-3.1458=41.7942

This gives us the original price, so, the original price is $41.7942.
