The average cost of a movie ticket is $7.50. If this price increases annually by 7 percent, how much would a movie ticket cost in 9 years? Question 5 options:

A)

$13.79 per ticket

B)

$12.55 per ticket

C)

$10.99 per ticket

D)

$11.21 per ticket

A) $13.79 per ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential increase function:  

A = P (1 + r) t  

Where:  

p = original price

r = increase rate (decimal form)  

t= years  

A = price after t years  

Replacing with the values given:  

A =7.50 (1+ [7/100]) ^9

A = $13.79 per ticket
