yon buys tickets to a concert for himself and a friend. there is a tax of 6% on the price of the tickets and an additional booking fee of $20 for transaction. write an algebraic expression to represent the price per person. simplify the expression if possible.
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 \(1.06x+20\).
