Question

the price of sugar increased by 20%, one person reduced the consumption of sugar in such a way that the cost of sugar was reduced by 4% than before. So what is the amount of sugar used by that person?​

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=

3

50

=16.66=approx. 17 %
