Explanation:

Let the Initial Price of Rice is 100 Rs./kg
and Consumption = 30 kgs (Given)

Total Expenditure (Price/kg * Consumption) = 100 * 30 = 3000 Rs.

Now the final price of Rice is 132Rs./kg
Consumption = ?
Total Expenditure (Price/kg * Consumption) = 3000 + 3000*10% = 3300 Rs.
132 * Consumption = 3300
So Consumption this time is => 3300/132 = 25 kgs
