Jose and a group of friends bought concert tickets for $257. The booking agency also charged a fee, bringing the total cost to $274.99. The amount of change is $17.99. What is the percent increase in the cost due to the fee?
So you already know the difference between the new number and original number, so all you have to do now is plug it in to this: Percentage Change=Difference/Original Number x100. So 17.99/257=.07x100 which equals 7%. So B is the correct answer.
