Answer 2

Answer:

answer is +60

Step-by-step explanation:

let price of sugar be x & expenditure E

now is it reduced by 25%. So it is 3/4x

now expenditure of sugar is also increased by 20% i.e.

1.2E or 6/5E

so quantity of sugar that can be purchased =

(6/5E)/(3/4x)

= (8E)/(5x)

= 160% of E/x

hence consumption increased by 60%
