A) $13.79 per ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to apply an exponential increase function:

A = P (1 + r) t

Where:

p = original price

r = increase rate (decimal form)

t = years

A = price after t years

Replacing with the values given:

A = 7.50 (1 + [7/100]) ^9

A = $13.79 per ticket
