Answer 1

The price of season ticket last year was 1,840.

Explanation:

Given:

Price of season tickets this year = 2024

Also given:

The Price of season tickets this year is 10% more than amount paid last year.

We need to find the Price of season tickets last year.

Solution:

Let the Price of season tickets last year be 'x'.

Now we know that;

The Price of season tickets this year is 10% more than amount paid last year.

so equation can be framed as;

`x+ (10)/(100)x=2024\\\\x+(x)/(10)=2024\\\\x+0.1x=2024\\\\1.1x=2024`

Now dividing both side by 1.1 we get;

`(1.1x)/(1.1)=(2024)/(1.1)\\\\x= 1840`

Hence The price of season ticket last year was 1,840.
