The one with the better deal would be 30 ride tickets for $22.50 this is because you pay less money for more rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you divide 20 by 14. Doing this will give you the cost of a ride per ticket.

20/14 = 1.42

Then you do the same thing to 30 and 22.50.

30/22.50 = 1.30

Last you compare which deal has less money per ride.

1.42 > 1.30
