(b) 16.66%
Earlier for ₹x we could purchase y gm of sugar.
Now we pay ₹1.2x for y gm of sugar
(As there was an increase in price so, x + 20%x = 1.2x)
At current rates for ₹x you can purchase y/1.2 gm of sugar
So the reduced consumption is y-(y/1.2)
Percentage change = (reduced consumption/ original consumption ) *100
That is (0.2/1.2) *100 = 16.66% (approx)

Joe is fencing in a square area of 576 square feet.
Fence posts, which are needed every three feet, cost 32.00 each.
The fencing cost 4.50 per foot. What is the total cost of the fencing materials?
Solution:-
Area of Square is 576 sq ft.
so, the length of side = root(576) = 24 ft
Since the fencing would be done on the perimeter, we would need that
formula is 4*side = 96 ft.
Number of Fence post needed = 96/3 = 32
1 Fence post cost = 32
32 Fence Post cost = 32 * 32 = 1024

Ques:- One half of a two digit number exceeds its one third by 6. Find the sum of the digits of the number?
Recent Answer : Added by Sohini Mitra On 2022-09-02 17:02:37:
Let the number be 10Y+X
(10Y+X)/2 = (10X+Y)/3+6
(10Y+X)(1/2-1/3) = 6
10Y+X = 36
Therefore, sum of the digits = 3+6 = 9
Ans: 9

Ques:- In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively. The number of girls not participating in the sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class? (1) Data inadequate (2) 20 (3) 25 (4) 30 (5) None of these
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:03:57:
let no. of boys not participating be x
then the no. of girls not participating = x+5
no. of boys : girls participating = 3:2
given no.of boys participating = 15
therefore, the ratio is now 15:y(say)
then 3:2 = 15 : x
on solving 3/2 =15/y ie.., 3y =30 we get y =10
hence no. of girls participating =10
therefore total no of students paricipating = 15+10=25
total no of students in class =60 given
hence no. of students not participating = 60-25=35
therefore x+(x+5)=35
2x=30
x=15
therfore no of girls not participating =15+5=20
therefore total no of girls in class = no of girls
participating + no of girls not participating
=10+20
=30 is the answer
