The Shopkeeper increased the price of a product by 25% so that customer finds it difficult to purchase the required amount. But somehow the customer managed to purchase only 70% of the required amount. What is the net difference  in the expenditure on that product?

A 10% more

B 5% more

C  12.5% more

D 17.5% more

Solution

Correct Answer: Option C

  Quantity  X  Rate =  Price

 

         1  x  1  =  1

 

       0.7 x 1.25 = 0.875

 

      Decrease in price = (1-0.875) x 100 = 12.5%
