Question

Cari is searching online for airline tickets. Two weeks ago, the cost to fly from Orlando to Hartford was $300. Now the cost is $375. What is the percent increase? What would be the percent increase if the airline charges an additional $50 baggage fee with the new ticket price?
The percent increase of the airline ticket is [ ]%. (Round to the nearest percent as needed.)

The percent increase from $300 to $375 is calculated as follows:

Percent Increase = ((New Price - Old Price) / Old Price) * 100

Percent Increase = (($375 - $300) / $300) * 100 = (75 / 300) * 100 = 25%
If an additional $50 baggage fee is added, the new cost becomes $375 + $50 = $425.

Percent Increase with Baggage Fee = ((New Price with Fee - Old Price) / Old Price) * 100

Percent Increase with Baggage Fee = (($425 - $300) / $300) * 100 = (125 / 300) * 100 ≈ 41.67%

Rounded to the nearest percent, the increase is 42%.
