Answer:the percent increase of the ticket price from last year to this year is 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year, Colin purchased a ticket to a football game for $30.00. This year, Colin purchases a similar ticket for $37.20. There is an increase in the price of ticket this year compared to last year. This increase is determined by subtracting the cost of ticket last year from the cost of ticket for this year. It becomes

Increase = 37.20 - 30 = 7.2

the percent increase of the ticket price from last year to this year would be determined by

Increase / cost of ticket last year * 100

percent increase = 7.2/30 * 100

= 24%
