Problem
Dallas. Each ticket is $75. The sales tax in
Texas is 8.25%. How much will Chance pay
in total for the four tickets, including sales
tax?
Solution
For this case we can solve the problem with the following proportion rule:
[tex]\frac{75}{100}=\frac{x}{108.25}[/tex]Where 75 represent the 100% of the original price and x the price with the taxes of 8.25% included and solving for the value of x we got:
[tex]x=108.25\cdot\frac{75}{100}=81.188[/tex]Then the final answer would be 81.188$
The price for 4 tickets then are:
81.188*4= $324.75
