About 11% - I first subtracted 250 from 282, to get 32. I then did 32/282 to get .11.... You round that out to about 11%

The ticket price for an ice hockey match used to cost £19.60. The price has now increased by 12.5%. How much will 2 tickets cost

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The 2 tickets will cost £44.10 after the increase.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you have to multiply £19.60 by 12.5% to find the increase in the cost of tickets.

$19.60(0.125)=2.45$

Add the price increase to the original cost to find the new cost of each ticket.

$19.60+2.45=22.05$

Multiply the result by 2 since you have to look for the cost of the 2 tickets.

$22.05(2)=44.10$
