Profit/Loss & Percentages
The price of sugar increases by 32%. A family reduces its consumption so that the expenditure on sugar increases by only 10%. If the total consumption of sugar before the price rise was 10 kg per month, what is the current consumption of sugar (in kg)?
The price increases by 32%, so the new price is 132% of the original. The expenditure increases by 10%, so new expenditure is 110% of the original. Let the new consumption be x kg. Then, 1.32 × x = 1.10 × 10 kg, so x = (1.10 × 10) / 1.32 ≈ 8.33 kg. Hence, option B is correct.
