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 ?

Answer: Option C

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%
