Let the initial expenses on Sugar was Rs. 100.
Now, Price of Sugar rises 25%. So, to buy same amount of Sugar, they need to expense,
= (100 + 25% of 100) = Rs. 125.
But, They want to keep expenses on Sugar, so they have to cut Rs. 25 in the expenses to keep it to Rs. 100.
Now, % decrease in Consumption,
(25/125)*100 = 20%.
