Question

Emily and a friend bought two tickets to see a soccer game. Each ticket cost $8.25. The friends paid a total of $24.50, which included a fee per ticket for parking near the stadium.
a) How much did each friend pay for the parking fee?
b) What is the parking fee as a percent increase in the cost of a ticket?

Answer 1

$2\cdot8.25=16.5\\\\24.5-16.5=8\\\\8:2=4\\\\\frac{4}{8.25}\cdot100\%=\\\\\frac{400}{8.25}\%=\\\\48.48\%$
