By how much percent sugar consumption should be reduced If the price of sugar is increased by $7%$, then by how much per cent should a housewife reduce the consumption of sugar, to have no excess expenditure **ATTEMPT** Let family consume $100$ units of sugar. Price of $1$ unit is $\$100$. Total expenditure is $\$10,000$. Now new expenditure will be $\$10,700$. So we have $700$ as extra expenditure. So units which are extra are $700/107$. Hence we have to reduce consumption by $700/107=6.542\%$. But textbook writes as $7/107$ percent. Can someone explain to me this? Am I wrong or textbook?

Consumption needs to be reduced by an amount corresponding to $\dfrac{7}{107} \approx 0.06542$ of the original consumption.

Written as a percentage this would be $6.542\%$ which is $\dfrac{700}{107}\%$
