Rn u wanna focus on these parts "he tickets cost $1,250" and "bringing the total cost to $1,400" You wanna (Subtract) (1,250.00) from (1,400.00) \[1,400.00-1,250.00=150\] Divide (150) by (1,250.00) \[150\div1,250.00=0.12\] To make (0.12) a percentage u wanna (Multiply) it by (100) \[0.12\times100=12%\] So with all this being said Answer option A would be correct
