Question

Emma noticed that the new admission fee for a zoo is 65% more than last year’s fee. If f represents last year’s fee, which of the following expressions represent the new admission fee? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer: 1.65f

Explanation:

Last year's admission fee = f

Percentage Increase in the admission fee = 65%

New admission fee will be the addition of last year's admission fee and the increase in the admission fee. This will be:

= f + (65% × f)

= f + (65/100 × f)

= f + (0.65 × f)

= f + 0.65f

= 1.65f

The new admission fee is 1.65f
