1. The price of sugar increased by 10%. What % of consumption of sugar is to be reduced in order to keep the expenditure on sugar at the same level?

  • A. 10
  • B. 10
  • C. 10
  • D. 10

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

10% increase,

New price will be Tk.110 if old price is Tk.100

New price will be Tk. 1 if old price is tk 100/110

New price will be Tk.100 if old price is tk = (100×100)/110 = 90.91

100 - 90.91 = 9.09
