Answer 1

Answer:-

⇒  Let the original price of the tea be Rs.100.

⇒  The price of the tea is increased by 20%.

⇒  Increased price of the tea = 100+(10020​)=100+20=Rs120.

⇒  Increase in price = 120−100=Rs.20

⇒  Tea of cost Rs.20 is to decreased out of the increased cost of Rs.120.

⇒  Percentage decrease = 12020​×100=350​%.

Hence, the consumption of 350​% of tea is to be decreased so that the expenditure on tea remains the same.
