Let the price of certain quantity of wheat be Rs 100.
Since rice is costlier than wheat by 25%,the price of the same quantity of the rice is Rs125.
Then the price of wheat is Rs 25 less the price of of rice(Rs 125)
We want to find what percent is Rs 25 of Rs 125
Percentage=[frac25125	imes100]%=20%
Hence wheat is 20% cheaper than rice.
