Answer 1

So, this is how much each of you pay, 1.06x+10

Answer 2

Answer:

$1.06x+20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost of each ticket.

We have been given that Yon buys tickets to a concert for himself and a friend. There is a tax of 6% on the price of the tickets.

The cost of each ticket after tax would be x plus 6% of x.

$\text{Cost of each ticket after tax}=x+\frac{6}{100}x$

$\text{Cost of each ticket after tax}=x+0.06x$

$\text{Cost of each ticket after tax}=1.06x$

We are also told that the ticket includes an additional booking fee of $20 for transaction. So the total cost of ticket would be $1.06x+20$.

Therefore, the cost of each ticket is $1.06x+20$.
