Question

Jeannie bought concert tickets online for $130.00. There is a 12% convenience fee. How much is the fee?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1083

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the actual amount be x

So since 12% convenience fee is given

It means 12%of x

That's 12/100×x

And he paid $130

So let's solve

12/100 ×x=130

12x/100=130

12x=100×130

12x=13000

Let's make x the subject of formula by dividing both sides by 12

x=1083.333

Approximately 1083

Therefore the actual fee is $1083
