Can please any one help me with this problem. I understood but I cant seem to be able to find the answer and I am missing something. I am terrible at this and I feel hopeless!
19 The manager of a train company calculates the price of a ticket by charging a fixed amount plus
an extra amount per kilometre of travel. Last year, when prices needed to go up, the fixed amount
was kept the same, but the cost per kilometre was increased by 2¢. This resulted in the price for
a 30 kilometre journey going up by 2.5%. This year the manager has chosen to increase the fixed
amount by 10% instead. The price for a 50 kilometre journey is now $2.50 more than it was
before the first change.
What is the cost of a ticket for a 50 kilometre journey after this latest increase?
A $30.00
B $31.00
C $31.50
D $32.50
Give a detailed explanation please
