Verified Answer :

So, this is how much each of you pay, 1.06x+10

Answer:

\(1.06x+20\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent cost of each ticket.

We have been given that Yon buys tickets to a concert for himself and a friend. There is a tax of 6% on the price of the tickets.

The cost of each ticket after tax would be x plus 6% of x.

\(\text{Cost of each ticket after tax}=x+\frac{6}{100}x\)

\(\text{Cost of each ticket after tax}=x+0.06x\)

\(\text{Cost of each ticket after tax}=1.06x\)

We are also told that the ticket includes an additional booking fee of $20 for transaction. So the total cost of ticket would be \(1.06x+20\).

Therefore, the cost of each ticket is \(1.06x+20\).
