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?

Respuesta :

1 unit = $60

2 1/4 units
= $60 × 2 1/4
= $135

Answer:

$135.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price of a baseball ticket at Yankee Stadium = $60.00

The price is increased by [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] over the last three years.

Let the price of the ticket of today be x

x = [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] × 60.00

x = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] × 60.00

x = [tex]\frac{540}{4}[/tex]

x = $135.00

The new price of the ticket is $135.00
