If the price of a commodity increases by X%, then the reduction in the consumption so as not to increase the expenditure
And, in case of a decrease
= X / 100 – X * 100
Let the population of a city be ĹPĺ now and suppose it increases at the rate of R% per annum, then
Population after n- years
= p Î (1 + R/100)n
Population n- years ago
= P / (1 + R/100)n
If A is R% more than B, then B is less than A by
= R / 100 + R * 100
If A is R% less than B, then B is more than A by
= R / 100 – R * 100
