A theater box office charges a handling fee equal to 5% of a ticket's face value. They also add a processing fee equal to 3% of the total, including the handling fee, when the ticket is purchased using a credit card.
Angie uses a credit card to pay for a ticket with a face value of $60. What is the total amount she is charged for the ticket, including all fees?
A.
$60.08
B.
$63.03
C.
$64.80
D.
$64.89
D. $64.89
First, calculate the handling fee: 5% of $60 = $3
Add the handling fee to the ticket's face value: $60 + $3 = $63
Calculate the processing fee: 3% of $63 = $1.89
Add the processing fee to the total: $63 + $1.89 = $64.89
Therefore, Angie is charged a total of $64.89 for the ticket, including all fees.
