At a special sale, 5 tickets can be purchased for the price of 3 tickets. If 5 tickets are purchased at the sale, the amount saved will be what percent of the original price of the 5 tickets ?

A. 20%

B. $$33\frac{1}{3}$$ %

C. 40%

D. 60%

Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Let the original price of each ticket be Rs. 100
Then, original price of 5 tickets = Rs. 500
Sale price of 5 tickets = Rs. 300
Amount saved :
= Rs. (500 - 300)
= Rs. 200
∴ Required percentage :
= $$\left( {\frac{{200}}{{500}} \times 100} \right)$$  %
= 40%
