Answer:
$30 ticket
Step-by-step explanation:
The cheaper ticket is 3/8 the cost of the expensive one. If the tickets have the same discount the discounted cheaper ticket would cost …
(3/8)($71.40) = $26.78
The cheaper ticket costs less than that, so the $30 ticket has a better discount.
_____
Figuring the discount on each ticket is more work. I like to do as little work as possible. (If you do that work, you find the $30 ticket is discounted 12%, and the $80 ticket is discounted 10.75%.)
