Question

The cost of a regular-price ticket to a San Francisco Giants baseball game was $60. During the World Series, the price increased by 2⁄5. What did the fans pay? A. $80 B. $65 C. $69 D. $84

Answer 1

First off, we need to determine what 2/5 is.
2/5 is 40% also known as .40

Now we multiply $60 by .40 and you get 24.

Now you add the two numbers.
60 + 24 = 84

The correct answer should be D, $84.

Hope this Helps!
