Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
The reduction in consumption can be calculated by
taking the proportion of the original consumption value divided by the sum of the original consumption value and a percentage value,
and then multiplying the result by 100%.
Using the example values provided, the reduction in consumption would be calculated as follows:
Reduction in consumption = [(25/(100 + 25)] X 100)%
= [(25/125)] X 100)%
= 20%
This means that the consumption has been reduced by 20%
