Question

Price of tea is increased by 20% By how much per cent a housewife should reduce the consumption of tea so as not to increase the expenditure on tea

Answer 1

Answer:

16 integer 2/3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the consumption of sugar originally be 1 unit and let its cost be Rs 100.

Then, the new cost will be Rs120.

Now, Rs 120 will yeild ( 1/120 × 100 ) unit= 5/6 unit of sugar.

Then, reduction in consumption = ( 1 - 5/6 ) = 1/6 unit

Therefore, reduction % in consumption = ( 1/6 × 100 )%

= 50/3%

=16 integer2/3 %.
