Answer: 68.18% and 90.91%

Step-by-step explanation:

Deb is searching for airline tickets. Two weeks ago, the cost to fly from Orlando to Denver was $220 while the cost now is $370.

Price two weeks ago= $220

Price as at today= $370

Increase in price =$370-$220=$150

Percentage increase= 150/ 220 × 100

=0.6818 × 100 = 68.18%

If the airline charges $50 fee for baggage with the new ticket price, the total cost will now be

$370 + $50= $420

Increase= $420 - $220 = $200

Percentage increase:

200/220 × 100

= 0.9091 × 100

= 90.91%
