Question

The price of a baseball ticket at Yankee Stadium increased by 2 1∕4 over the last three years. If the
original price of a ticket was $60, what is the price of the ticket today?

Answer 1

Let P be the original cost of the ticket.
Let CP be the current cost of a ticket (3 years later)

CP = P + 2.25*P
CP = 3.25*P
CP = 3.25 * 60
CP = $195.00

Answer 2

Thank you!
