Fuel burn vs fuel density

Whazup!
Just relocated to the UK and busy converting my ICAO licence. Writing last four exams in January. What a busy six months it was! This is my first ever posting, so I hope I'm at the right forum. Question on flight planning:

The fuel burn is 200kg/hr with a relative fuel density of 0.8. If the relative density is 0.75, what is the new fuel burn?

Does it stay constant at 200kg/hr or does it change to 188kg/hr?

I've had various answers from various sources. It is one of the sample questions from the JAA web-sight. Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers! I.
