Solution
Price of a ticket in 2015 = ₹ 1500
Increased price this year = 18% of price in 2015
= 18% of ₹ 1500
= `18/100 xx 1500`
= ₹ 270
Price of ticket this year = last year price + increased price
= ₹ 1500 + ₹ 270
= ₹ 1770
Price of ticket this year = ₹ 1770

Sunscreens block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays produced by the sun. Each sunscreen has a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that tells you how many minutes you can stay in the sun before you receive one minute of burning UV rays. For example, if you apply sunscreen with SPF 15, you get 1 minute of UV rays for every 15 minutes you stay in the sun.
Suppose a sunscreen allows 25% of the sun’s UV rays.
