Answer 1

Problem

Dallas. Each ticket is $75. The sales tax in

Texas is 8.25%. How much will Chance pay

in total for the four tickets, including sales

tax?

Solution

For this case we can solve the problem with the following proportion rule:

`(75)/(100)=(x)/(108.25)`

Where 75 represent the 100% of the original price and x the price with the taxes of 8.25% included and solving for the value of x we got:

`x=108.25\cdot(75)/(100)=81.188`

Then the final answer would be 81.188$

The price for 4 tickets then are:

81.188*4= $324.75
