Answer 2

Consumption should be reduced by 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

The price of sugar was 30 rs per kg let the consumption of sugar was 100 kg.

So the total expense is: 30×100=3000

Now the new price of sugar is 37.50 rs per kg. Let the new consumption of sugar is x.

Thus, the total expense is: 37.50 x

It is given that expense should be same therefore,

$3000=37.50x\\\\x=\dfrac{3000}{37.50}\\\\x=80$

Hence, the new consumption is 80 kg.

$Reduce\%=\frac{100-80}{100}\times100=20\%$

Hence, consumption should be reduced by 20%.
