    Question

    If the price of a movie ticket increased by 12.5% and the sale of tickets also increased by 8.5% then finds change in income

    A.

    21.875%

    B.

    22.6750%

    C.

    20.675%

    D.

    22.0625%

    Correct option is D

    ​Given:

    Percentage change in price = 12.5%
    Percentage change in quantity (sale of tickets) = 8.5%

    Formula Used:

    Percentage Change in Revenue =

    [(1+(Percentage Change in Price100)×(1+(Percentage Change in Quantity100)]1[ (1 + (\frac{Percentage \,Change\, in\, Price} {100}) × (1 + (\frac{Percentage \,Change\, in\, Quantity}{100})] - 1​​

    Solution:

    Percentage Change in Revenue = [1+(12.5100)×(1+8.5100)]1 [1 + (\frac{12.5}{ 100}) × (1 + \frac{8.5}{ 100})] - 1​​
    (112.5100×108.5100)1 =112.5×108.5100000100 =2206.25100=22.0625%( \frac{112.5}{100} × \frac{108.5}{100}) -1 \\\ \\= \frac {112.5 ×108.5 -100000}{100}\\\ \\ = \frac {2206.25}{100} = 22.0625 {\%} \\​​
