Question

32. The price of cloth having been raised by 75%, by how much per cent
must a house holder reduce his consumption of cloth so as not to increase his
expenditure ?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

42.84%

Step-by-step explanation:

let the initial price be = 100rs

increase in price = 75%

-> 75% 0f 100 = 75 (increased)

now new price = 175 rs

to reduce the expenditure, the person has to, reduce 75 rs from 175rs

$\frac{75}{175}$ × 100%

$\frac{3}{7}$ × 100%

answer = 42.84%
