Answer 2

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let before one consumed 100 gm sugar worth ₹100

Now price is increased by 25% so the new price is ₹125

For ₹125 one can now get 100 gm sugar

For ₹100 one will get 80 gm sugar

Which is 20% less than the previous 100 gm that one was consuming

Hence one needs to decrease consumption by 20% to keep the expenditure on sugar same as before and probably to get a little fitter... ☺
