Answer 1

Answer:

US ticket=320

Europe ticket =360

Cheaper=(40/320)×100=12.5%

Expensive=(40/360)×100=11.11%

Answer 2

Answer:

cheaper in the USA= 11.1%
expensive in Europe= 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

%cheaper in USA= 360-320/360 × 100= 11.1% ( how much cheaper in the USA "than Europe" so the denominator has to be 360)

%expensive in Europe= 360-320/320 ×100=12.5% ( how much more expensive in Europe "than the USA" so the denominator has to be 320)
