then family decreased its

monthly expenditure increased

Answer 1

Answer:

We know that

Total expense = price of sugar * consumption

let price of sugar was 100

So total expense = 100*10=1000

But now new expense =1100 (I,e.10% more than 1000)

and new price =120(i,e. 20% more than 100)

So new consumption = new expense/ new price=

1100/120

=110/12

=9.16
