A local movie theater is increasing ticket pricesby 10%. If a student ticket originally cost $8.50,how much will the theater be adding to the priceof the ticket?

A. $0.10
B. $0.85
C. $1.50
D. $9.35

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Because since they are increasing $8.50 by 10% you got to divide by 10 to get the answer. Because 10% is equal as multiplying .10 or dividing by 10. So when you divide by 10 you get 0.85. So B is the answer to the question.

13.33%

say 50 oranges, then 100 apples

80 are red, 20 are yellow

total fruit = 150

20chances out of 150 for yellow

20/150 = 13.33%

part a: 1.08

part b: 27.59
