Answer:

The first part of the question is missing, so I looked for similar questions:

Heather and her family are going to the grand opening of an amusement park. There is a special price on tickets this weekend. Tickets cost 56$ each. This is 70% of a regular price ticket.

Part A- What is the cost of a regular price ticket?

Part B- Heather's mom says they would save more than 100$ this opening weekend. Do you agree or disagree with Heather's mom?

A) the price of a regular ticket is $56/70% = $80 per ticket

B) Heather's family is saving ($80 - $56) x 4 tickets = $24 x 4 = $96

Her family is almost saving $100, but not more than $100.
