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:
$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
