    Answer: 46%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation:

    The price of a movie ticket ten years ago (6.50) multiplied by a percentage in decimal form (x) is equal to 9.50.

    6.50x = 9.50

    Solving for x

    x = 9.50/6.50

    x = 1.46

    Multiplying by 100 to obtain the percent form:

    1.46 x 100 = 146%

    Finally we have to subtract 100 to obtain the percent increase:

    146-100 = 46%

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
