See lessThe price of sugar is increase by 30% due to this a family use 40kg less sugar so as expenditure will increase by 10% only, find original consumption.
Price of sugar increases by 30%. If expenditure increases by only 10%, then by how much percent consumption should decrease?
In the new budget, the price of petrol rose by 10%. By how much percent must one reduce the consumption so that the expenditure does not increase?
# Increase in petrol price by = 10% Reduction in consumption while having same expenditure = (increase%)/(100+increase%) × 100 = 10/(100+10) × 100 = 1000/110 = 100/11 = 9 1/11% ∴ At the cost of same expenditure one can reduce 9 1/11% of consumption of petrol.
# Increase in petrol price by = 10%
Reduction in consumption while having same expenditure
= (increase%)/(100+increase%) × 100
= 10/(100+10) × 100
= 1000/110
= 100/11
= 9 1/11%
∴ At the cost of same expenditure one can reduce 9 1/11% of consumption of petrol.
