Answer 1

Aimee can save $24 by buying tickets at the lower price that is at the theater.

Answer 2

Aimee can save $24 by buying tickets at the lower price that is at the theater.

Explanation:

First, you need to find the amount she would spent by buying tickets at the theater and online by using a rule of three:

Theater:

60→8

x ←24

x=(60*24)/8=180

Online:

51→6

x ←24

x=(51*24)/6=204

Now, you need to calculate the difference:

$204-$180=$24

According to this, the answer is that Aimee can save $24 by buying tickets at the lower price that is at the theater.
