Answer 2

Answer:

The percentage by which Anu should be needed to reduce the sugar consumption is 10%.

Therefore, option (d) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider that initial price of the sugar  = 100x

Given that the price of sugar is increased by 20%.

So, the price of the sugar after increase will be $=100x \times \frac{120}{100} =120x$

Anu decided to increase her expenditure only $8\%$ on sugar:-

The amount she decided to spend on sugar  $=100x\times \frac{108}{100} = 108x$

Now find by which % should the consumption of sugar be decreased so that the money spend on sugar would increase by only just 8%.

Percentage % change in sugar consumption $=\frac{120x-108x}{120x} \times 100 =10\%$

Therefore, the percentage by which Anu needs to reduce the sugar consumption is 10%.
