Reina Wolfe · Answer 1

the demand curve will shift upward by $20 and the price paid by buyers will decrease by $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

the reduction in the fixed amount of tax from $50 t0 $30 will bring about reduction of $20 in the price of ticket. the reduction in the price of the ticket, other factors held constant, will brings about change in the demand curve.
