In 1991,
Total cost = theatre cost + parking cost = 84.50 + 14.50 = $99
In 1992,
Theatre cost increased by 18% = 84.50 * 1.18 = $99.71
And,
Parking cost increased by 10% = 14.50* 1.1 = $ 15.95
So, total cost in 1992 = 99.71+15.95 = $115.66
Therefore increased cost = 115.66-99 = $16.66
Hence , option B.
Total cost = theatre cost + parking cost = 84.50 + 14.50 = $99
In 1992,
Theatre cost increased by 18% = 84.50 * 1.18 = $99.71
And,
Parking cost increased by 10% = 14.50* 1.1 = $ 15.95
So, total cost in 1992 = 99.71+15.95 = $115.66
Therefore increased cost = 115.66-99 = $16.66
Hence , option B.

In 1991,
Theatre box ticket cost = $84.50 per ticket.
Parking ticket cost = $14.50 per vehicle.
In 1992, the price has shown an increase of 18% in theatre box ticket cost, and 10% increase in vehicle parking cost.
We need to find the amount of increase from 1991 to 1992.
New price box ticket = 84.50 * (1+18%) = 84.50 * (118/100) = 99.71
New price Parking ticket = 14.50 * (1+10%) = 14.50 * (110/100) = 15.95
99.71 - 84.50 = $ 15.21 increase in box ticket price.
15.95 - 14.50 = $ 1.45 increase per parking ticket.
Total increase = $15.21 + $1.45 = $16.66
Option B
Alternate solution:
Since, We need to find the amount increase. Let’s do it this way.
Box ticket price is $ 84.50
1% = 0.845
10% = 8.45
5% = half of 10% = 4.225
3% = 3*1% = 3 * 0.845 = 2.535
So, 18% = 10% + 5% + 3%
= 8.45 + 4.225 + 2.535
= $ 15.21
Parking ticket price is $ 14.50
1% = 0.145
10% = 1.45
We need 10% only = $ 1.45
Total increase
= $15.21 + $1.45
= $ 16.66
Option B
