Answer 1

Answer:

The required percentage would be 16.67%. We need to find the percent that a housewife reduce her consumption so that the expenditure does not increase. Hence, the required percentage would be 16.67%.

Explanation:

OR

Let the original price of the sugar be Rs100

And the consumption be 1kg

Then total expenditure will be Rs100×1=Rs100

Now, when price is increased by 20 %, then new price is Rs120

Then new expense will be Rs120×1=Rs120

For expense to be same to Rs100,

% decrease in sugar consumption =

120−100/120 ×100= 50/3

=16.66=approx. 17 %
