The price of ticket last year is $ 1231.65

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

This year, Sophia paid $1,071 for season tickets to her favorite baseball team , which is 15% cheaper than last year

To find: Price of season ticket last year

Let the price of season ticket last year be "x"

Therefore, according to question

Price of ticket this year is 15 % cheaper than price of ticket last year

1071 = price of ticket last year - 15 % of 1071

1071 = x - 15 % of 1071

Solve the above expression for "x"

$1071 = x - 15 \% \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - \frac{15}{100} \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - 0.15 \times 1071\\\\1071 = x - 160.65\\\\x = 1071 + 160.65\\\\x = 1231.65$

Thus price of ticket last year is $ 1231.65

What does it mean when we write √100 = 10 in terms of squares and side lengths? Explain. *

erica [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{100}=10$ because $10^{2}=100$ . 10 is the square root of 100, which means that 10 multiplied by itself (10×10= $10^2$ ) is equal to 100. So, when you are trying to find the square root of a number, the square root is itself multiplied by itself.
