Verified Answer :

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 \(2\frac{1}{4}\) over the last three years.

Let the price of the ticket of today be x

x = \(2\frac{1}{4}\) × 60.00

x = \(\frac{9}{4}\) × 60.00

x = \(\frac{540}{4}\)

x = $135.00

The new price of the ticket is $135.00
