Answer» Lets, PRODUCTION cost of 100 KG of goods = 100x Packaging cost of 100 kg of goods = 15x Actual cost price = 100x + 15x = 115x New production cost = 100x × 90/100 = 90X New Packaging cost = 15x × 140/100 = 21x New actual cost price of 100 kg goods = 90x + 21x = 111x ∴ Required percentage decrease = (115x – 111x) /115x × 100 = 3.48% |
