Question

Last year the price of a ticket to a football game was $17.50. This year the price is $19.60. What percent of last years price is this years price?

Answer 1

To figure this out, we just divide the new price by the old price, and convert to a percentage. 100% is equal to one, so once we divide, we'll multiply by 100%:
\[\frac{ 19.60 }{ 17.50 } \times 100 percent\]
