Eighteen percent of Nepal’s total requirement of sugar is being met by imports from India. Next year total requirement of sugar is expected to fall by 22% and only 12% of the revised requirement will be imported from India. Assuming all other exports to Nepal remain the same, what would be its total percentage drop in quantity of exports to Nepal?

Solution:

Total requirements of sugar for Nepal =

100/18 × 3,20,000

= 17,77,777.78
Revised total requirement = 17,77,777.78 -

22/100

× 17,77,777.78 = 1,38,66,666.67
Import of sugar from India =

12/100 × 13,86,666.67

= 1,66,400
Total exports to Nepal = 11,40,000 - 32,000 + 1,66,400 = 9,86,400
Decreased percentage

={- 9,86,400 +11,40,000}/{11,40,000 }× 100

= {1,53,600}/{11,40,000 }× 100

= 13.47%
