Total fare without discount = 17 × 1600 + 7 × 600 = Rs 31, 400

? There are 7 children → 14 adults required for their free tickets.

∴ All 7 children go for free as there are 17 adults.

⇒ Fare with discount = Fare for adults only = 17 × 1600 = Rs 27, 200

∴ Discount = ((31400 – 27200)/31400) × 100 = 13.37%
