The average amount of money spent by a person who attended a local sporting event in 2000 was $8.00, of which 75% was the ticket price. In 2005, the average amount of money spent by a person who attended a local sporting event increased by 50%, but the ticket price did not increase. By how many dollars did the non-ticket costs increase from 2000 to 2005?

2000: ticket = 0.75 * 8 = 6.00

so non-ticket was 2.00

2005: 1.50*8.00 - 6.00 = 12-6 = 6
non-ticket costs increased by 4.00

Well, it seems like the non-ticket costs really went up their game in 2005! Let's break it down, shall we?

In 2000, the average amount spent per person was $8.00, of which 75% was the ticket price. This means that the non-ticket costs were 25% of $8.00, which is $2.00.

Now, in 2005, we know that the average amount spent increased by 50%, but the ticket price stayed the same. This means that the non-ticket costs must've increased by the remaining 50%.

So, the increase in non-ticket costs from 2000 to 2005 is 50% of $2.00, which is $1.00.

Therefore, the non-ticket costs increased by $1.00 from 2000 to 2005. Enjoy those extra peanuts at the game!

To find the increase in non-ticket costs from 2000 to 2005, we need to compare the average non-ticket costs in each year.

In 2000, the average person spent $8.00, of which 75% was the ticket price. Therefore, the non-ticket costs in 2000 are 100% - 75% = 25% of $8.00.

Non-ticket costs in 2000 = 25% of $8.00 = 0.25 * $8.00 = $2.00.

In 2005, the average person spent 50% more than 2000, but the ticket price did not increase. Therefore, the non-ticket costs stayed the same.

Non-ticket costs in 2005 = $2.00.

The increase in non-ticket costs from 2000 to 2005 is $2.00 - $2.00 = $0.00.

Therefore, the non-ticket costs did not increase from 2000 to 2005.

To find out how many dollars the non-ticket costs increased from 2000 to 2005, we need to first calculate the average amount of money spent on non-ticket costs in 2000 and then compare it to the average amount spent in 2005.

Step 1: Calculate the average amount spent on non-ticket costs in 2000.
Given that 75% of the total amount spent was the ticket price, we need to find the remaining 25% that represents the non-ticket costs.
Let's assume the total amount spent in 2000 is represented by X.
So, 25% of X is the non-ticket costs.
25% of X = (25/100) * X = 0.25X
Given that the average amount of money spent was $8.00, we can set up the equation:
0.25X = $8.00

To find X, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:
X = $8.00 / 0.25 = $32.00

Therefore, the average amount spent on non-ticket costs in 2000 was $32.00.

Step 2: Calculate the average amount spent on non-ticket costs in 2005.
We are given that the average amount of money spent by a person who attended a local sporting event increased by 50% in 2005. However, the ticket price did not increase.
Let's assume the average amount spent on non-ticket costs in 2005 is represented by Y.
Since the ticket price did not increase, 75% of Y is the same as 75% of X (as calculated in step 1).

So, we can set up the equation:
0.75Y = 0.75X

To find Y, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.75:
Y = (0.75X) / 0.75 = X

Therefore, the average amount spent on non-ticket costs in 2005 is also $32.00.

Step 3: Calculate the increase in non-ticket costs from 2000 to 2005.
The increase in non-ticket costs from 2000 to 2005 is given by the difference between the average amount spent in 2005 and 2000.
Increase = Y - X = $32.00 - $32.00 = $0.00

Therefore, the non-ticket costs did not increase from 2000 to 2005. The increase is $0.00.
