Correct Answer: $\frac{100}{11}$%
Solution : Given: The price of rice increased by 10%. Let the original price of the rice be 100. After the increase, the new price = (100 + 10) = 110 To not increase the expenditure, the consumption needs to be decreased. So, the decrease percentage = $\frac{110-100}{110}×100$ = $\frac{10}{110}×100$ = $\frac{100}{11}$% Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{100}{11}$%.
