Project PS Butler : Question #41

let ticket price be $5 5 tickets = 25$

discounted price for 5 tickets 15$$$\frac{(25-15)}{25} *100 =40$$ IMO: C Intern Joined: 08 Sep 2017 Posts: 5 At a special sale, S tickets can be purchased for the price of 3 ticke [#permalink] ### Show Tags 26 Nov 2018, 20:42 let price of 1 ticket be x$

therefore Actual price of 3 tickets and 5 tickets is 3x$& 5x$ respectively

At special rate Cost of 5 tickets is 3x\$ ( No other information is given for S therefore S must be equal to 5)

therefore savings = actual price of 5 tickets - special price = 5x-3x =2x

% saved = 2x/5x = 40%
