  Let the price of 3 ticket be x Rs.
  So,the price of 1 ticket be x/3 Rs.
  Now, the price of 5 ticket is 5x/3 Rs..
  
  But due to discount,5tickets can be purchase at a rate of 3 tickets will be xRs.
  Amount saved=(5x/3)-x
  (5x-3x)/3=1
  x=3/2
  x=1.5
  3 ticket price=1.5Rs.
  5 ticket price=2.5 Rs.
  % of amount saved=(1.5/2.5)*100
