Let the number X is 100
Then, PÃ 80 QÃ 72
So, Percentage decrease from P to Q is à 8/80=0.1-100=10%
1 is the right choice.
Let the price of kerosene be x and household
consumption be y.
Expenditure = xy
New cost of kerosene = 1.1x, let new household
consumption be z.
In order to not to increase expenditure,
xy = 1.1x * a
? a= 10y/ 11
? consumption should decrease by = 1/11 X 100 = 9.09%
