Question

the price of Apples decreased by 60% by what percent must housewife increase the consumption of Apple so that the expenditure on apples is the same as before​

Answer 1

Answer:

150%

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say initially they brought 10 apples at 10 rs each total cost 100 rs

now 60% decrease in price will put each apple at 4 rs

that means now u can buy 10 apples at 40 rs

that now in 100 rs u can have 25 apples that is increase of 15 apples on the 10( base)

which if we convert into percentage will be (15/10) *100= 150%
