Question

Vinnie is searching online for airline tickets. Two weeks​ ago, the cost to fly from Hartford to Denver was ​$220. Now the cost is ​$305. 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:

Question 1.  38.6 %   2.  61.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

(New Cost - Old Cost) ÷ old Cost × 100

    (305 - 220) ÷ 220 x 100

    =   85/220 x 100

    = 38.6 %

2.  New Cost 305 + 50 = $355    

     

(Now new cost - old cost) ÷ old cost ×  100

    (355 - 220)  ÷ 220 × 100  

    =  135/220 × 100

        61.4%
