Question

To visit the top of the Empire State building , a ticket in 1999 cost four dollars , in 2019 the same ticket cost $32 ,what was the percentage change in the cost of the ticket ?

Answer 1

Answer:

700%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the percentage is found below =

$\frac{changeinvalue}{absolutevalueoftheoriginalvalue} * 100$

So to find the change in value, we must subtract 32 from 4, which gets us -28.

We know the og value already, 4 dollars.

So do the division

$\frac{-28}{4} =-7$

Now the multiplcation,

-7 * 100

-700

700%
