Answer 1

Answer:

This is the method u have to put

Step-by-step explanation:

Now it's increased by 30 percent

New price for 100kg of rice is rupees 130

But consumption is reduced in order to pay rupees 100

. 100 ———130

. ? —————100

Therefore need to buy (100×100) ÷130 =1000/13

Therefore consumption of rice is to be reduce by 100 - (1000÷13)

300 ÷13

Percentage reduce =(300/13) ×100/100= 23 1/13
