Answer: Jeanettes ticket was less than the original price by 28%

Explanation:

The original price of the ticket was $75. She used a coupon code to receive a 20% discount. This means that the amount of discount that she got is

20/100 × 75 = 15

The discounted price would be

75 - 15 = $60

The website apply to 10% service fee to the discounted price. This means that the amount of service fee charged by the website is

10/100 × 60 = $6

The final cost of the ticket is

60 - 6 = $54

The difference between the final price and the original price is

75 - 54 = 21

The percentage difference in the prices would be

21/75 × 100 = 28%
