The raised price represents 110% of the original price (100% plus the extra 10%)
A percentage is converted into a decimal multiplier by dividing by 100:
To clarify the final stage, consider this (where
is the original price):
From here, basic algebraic rules make solving for easy:
Therefore the original price of a ticket was $175
