Question

is searching online for airline tickets. Two weeks​ ago, the cost to fly from to was ​250$. Now the cost is 330 ​$. What is the percent​ increase? What would be the percent increase if the airline charges an additional​ $50 baggage fee with the new ticket​ price?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost increases to $330.

The percent increase here would be:

= (New price - Old price )/ Old price

= (330 - 250) / 250

= 0.32

= 32%

Cost increases to $330 and charges $50 baggage fee

= (New price - Old price )/ Old price

= (330 + 50 - 250) / 250

= 0.52

= 52%
