Kelly used to get a 30% discount on movie

Kelly used to get a 30% discount on movie tickets. When the price of the movie ticket increased by 50%, the amount of discount in dollars remained the same. What is Kelly's discount with the new Ticket price in percent terms?

(a) 10%
(b) 20%
(c) 25%
(d) 35%
(e) 38%

The best answer is B.
The price of the ticket is unknown. Take 100 as an exapmle.
30% discount of 100 is $30, that amount stayed the same after the price of a ticket grew by 50%.
The new price of a ticket is $150, so 30/150 is 20%.
