A.4000(1+0.22)(1+0.15)x
B.4000(1+0.22)(1-0.15)x
C.4000(1-0.22)(1-0.15)x
D.4000(1-0.22)(1+0.15)x

Answer 1

B. 15% decrease would be (1 - 0.15) 22% increase would be (1 + .22)

Answer 2

ok so you have tick sold last year = f and last year price tickets = x
first lets find out how many tickets were sold this year. It has to be more than last year
Since last year sold 4000 and this year they sold 22% or 0.22 more we can say
(4000* 0.22) + 4000
we can factor out 4000
[1 * 0.22) + 1 ] * 4000
[(0.22) + 1 ] * 4000
or
4000( 1 + 0.22)

Answer 3

and we can cancel C and D and by what we did can see that since the sale prices lower we can cancel out A and the answer is B
