Answer»

PRICE x Consumption = Expenditure

Consumption = Exp. Price

(15 / 8x) - (15 / x) = 12

x = (15 x 2) / (12 x 8)

For 16 Mangoes = [(15 x 2) / (12 x 8)] x 16 = 5

Price x Consumption = Expenditure

Consumption = Exp. Price

(15 / 8x) - (15 / x) = 12

x = (15 x 2) / (12 x 8)

For 16 Mangoes = [(15 x 2) / (12 x 8)] x 16 = 5
