Question

Solve with solution and answer

Answer 1

Percentage of increasing in price of onion = 25% .

Let the consumption of onion be 1 unit and let its cost be ₹100.

New cost of 1 unit = ₹125

₹100 will yield 100/125 unit = 4/5 unit of onion.


Reduction in consumption =
$1 - \frac{4}{5}$
1/5 unit

reduction% in consumption =
$\frac{1}{5} \times 100\% = 20\%$
