If cost of sugar increases by 25%. How much percent consumption of sugar should be decreased in order to keep expenditure fixed?
- 15%
- 20%
- 25%
- None of these
Explanation
Use the formula:
% decrease = (increase ÷ (100 + increase)) × 100
= (25 ÷ 125) × 100 = 20%
So, to keep the total expenditure the same, consumption must decrease by 20%.
