Colleen is searching online for airline to tickets. Two weeks ago, the cost to fly from denver to Boston was $250. Now the cost is $340. 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

36% ; 56%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Previous cost = $250

Present cost = $340

Percentage increase :

(Change in cost / previous cost) * 100%

((340 - 250) / 250) * 100%

(90 / 250) * 100%

0.36 * 100%

= 36%

If $50 baggage fee is charged with new ticket price :

Total change in price = ($90 + $50) = $140

(140 / 250) * 100%

0.56 * 100%

= 56%
