The price of a basketball ticket at Wells Fargo Center is 2¼ times the original price of a ticket at $60. What's the price of the ticket today?

$135

First, change the mixed number to an improper fraction.

2 1/4 = 9/4

Next, change $60 to an improper fraction.

$60 = 60/1

Then, multiply straight across on both the top and bottom to get 540/4.

Finally, simplify and get 135.

Hope this helped :)

For this case we have to:

[tex]2 \frac {1} {4}[/tex]is a mixed number that equals:

[tex]\frac {4 * 2 + 1} {4} = \frac {9} {4}[/tex]

If the price of the original ticket is $ 60, then the current price is:

[tex]\frac {60 * 9} {4} =\\\frac {540} {4} =\\135[/tex]

So, the price of the ticket is $ 135

Answer:

$ 135
