To solve, turn the percent into a percent decimal and multiply:

7% -------------->(Divide by 100) ---------------------> .07

Then multiply:

44.94 x .07 = 3.15

Subtract that from the total:

44.94 - 3.15 = 41.79

Answer:

Charlotte's original ticket price was $41.79

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The original price of the ticket is $ 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the original price ( in dollars ) of the ticket,

∵ There is a charge of 7% in the price of ticket,

Thus, the price of ticket after extra fees = original price + 7% of the original price

= x + 7% of x

= x + 0.07x

= 1.07x

According to the question,

1.07x = 44.94

Divide both sides by 1.07,

x = [tex]\frac{44.94}{1.07}[/tex] = 42,

Hence, the original price of the ticket is $ 42.
