The price of sugar increases by 32%. A family reduces its consumption so that the expenditure of the sugar is up by 10% only. If the total consumption of sugar before the price rise was 10 kg per month, then the consumption of sugar per month at present (in kg) is :
a. 8(1 / 3)
b. 8(1 / 2)
c. 8(3 / 4)
d. 9
Read Solution (Total 3)
-
- 8.33333
let initially 10kg sugar= 100rs.
on increased price 10kg SUGAR= 132rs.
consumer uses sugar= 110rs.
therefore 1rs. sugar = 10/132kg
and 110rs. sugar = 10*110/132=8.3333 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- at original 10 kg *100(assumption)=1000
after 32% increase in price ,
xkg*132=1100(only 10% increase can be managed)
x=8(1/3) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 10kg-100rs
Now 10kg-132
so for 110rs u will get 1100/132=8.3333 - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
