      Question

      reduced his usage by 25%. Determine the change in his electricity bill.
      A 1% decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 2% increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 6% decrease Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5% increase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let initial electricity cost be Rs. 100a and usage be 100b units

      Initial bill = 100a Γ— 100b = Rs. 10000ab

      New bill = (1.40 Γ— 100a) Γ— (0.75 Γ— 100b) = Rs. 10500ab

      Required percent = [(10500ab - 10000ab) Γ· 10000ab] Γ— 100 = 5% increase
