First reading feels like not enough information to find the price of the discount card.

Assume 30 days in a month.

Possible purchases
30%2A1.50=45
Actual purchases
29.50, the cost of fifteen passes, an apparent discount for getting 15 passes.

No mention and no inclusion of information about the price of the discount card.
