Question

the price of sugar is increased by 25% how much percent should a man decrease his consumption so that there is no increase in his expenditure

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price before increase be Rs. 100.

Increased price =25% of 100

25/100*100+100 = Rs. 125

When the price is increased to 125 he has to reduce Rs. 25.

When the price is increased to 1 he has to reduce 25/125

Rate by which consumption should be decreased=25/125*100

=20%
