Answer 1

Answer:

Since we have given that ,

Price of sugar goes up by = 20%

We need to find the percent that a housewife reduce her consumption so that the expenditure9 does not increase.

Let R = 20%

So, percent that a housewife reduce her consumption so that the expenditure does not increase is given by

R / 100+R × 100

= 20 / 100 + 20 × 100

= 20 / 120 × 100

=2000/120

= 16.67

Hence the required percentage would be = 16.67
