The equation tells us that Charlotte is now paying 107% of the origional price of her ticket.
Knowing this, you can divide the Value 44.94 by 107 to find the value of 1%, which is equal to ($) 0.42
Now, there are two different ways to solve the problem from here:
1. you can multiply 0.42 by 7 to get 2.94. That number equals how much Charlotte paid in additional fees.
Since we know that the original price of a ticket is $44.94 minus the 7% value,
all we need to figure out is 44.94 - 2.94, which equals 42 (aka $42.00)
2. you can multiply 0.42 (aka 1%) by 100 to find 100% of the price of the ticket, aka the ticket price before the 7% was added.
0.42 x 100 gets you 42 or $42.00
Therefore, the original price of the ticket was $42.00 :)
