The price of rice falls by 20%. How much rice can be bought now with the money that was sufficient to buy 20 kg of rice previously?

a) 5 kg
b) 15 kg
c) 30 kg
d) 25 kg

Answer: d
Explanation: Let Rs. 100 be spend on rice initially for 20 kg.
As the price falls by 20%, new price for 20 kg rice,
= (100 – 20% of 100) = 80
New price of rice = $$\frac{{80}}{{20}}$$ = Rs. 4 per kg.
Rice can bought now at = $$\frac{{100}}{{4}}$$ = 25 kg.
