Question

The price of sugar increased by 20%. If the price of sugar was Rs.25 per kg, what is the increased price of sugar per kg now?
Step by step explanation

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original price of the sugar be Rs100

And the consumption be 1kg

Then total expenditure will be Rs100×1=Rs100

Now, when price is increased by 20 %, then new price is Rs120

Then new expense will be Rs120×1=Rs120

For expense to be same to Rs100,

% decrease in sugar consumption =

120

120−100

×100=

50

=16.66=approx. 17 %

increased price = 5 + 25 = Rs35 (ANS)
