      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the initial price of milk be Rs. 100a and initial consumption be 100b litres

      Initial expenditure = 100a × 100b = Rs. 10000ab

      New expenditure = (1.20 × 100a) × (0.70 × 100b) = Rs. 8400ab

      Required percent = [(8400ab - 10000ab) ÷ 10000ab] × 100 = -16% decrease
