Price of tea increased by 32%, expenditure increases by 10% only, initially consumption of tea was 10 Kg. Find the current consumption. |
8 8\(\frac{1}{3}\) 6 6\(\frac{2}{3}\) |
8\(\frac{1}{3}\) |
Previous Current Expenditure = 10 : 11 (10% = \(\frac{1}{10}\)) Price = 25 : 33 ( 32% = \(\frac{8}{25}\)) Consumption = \(\frac{10}{25}\) : \(\frac{11}{33}\) \(\frac{2}{5}\) : \(\frac{1}{3}\) 6 : 5 ⇒ 6R = 10 kg (given) ⇒ 5R = 5 × \(\frac{10}{6}\) kg = 8\(\frac{1}{3}\) Kg Hence, Current consumption = 8\(\frac{1}{3}\) kg
**Consumption = \(\frac{Exp.}{Price}\) |
