Question

Each year, Terrell buys a plane ticket to visit his grandmother for a week. Last year, he paid $130. This year, he paid $143. What was the percent increase in the cost of his plane ticket? Show your work.

Answer 1

Percent Increase = [(New - Old)/Old] * 100


Percent Increase = [(143-130)/130] * 100


Percent Increase = [13/130] * 100


Percent Increase = 0.1 * 100


Percent Increase = 10%


So the percent increase of the cost of his plane ticket was 10%


Note: this means that you add 10% of 130 onto 130 to get the new price of $143
