Answer:

The correct answer is  $100,000.

Explanation:

CPI or Consumer Price Index uses a basket of goods approach that aims to compare a consistent base of products from year to year focusing on products that are bought and used by consumers daily.

In the example, we can solve the question by using the simple "rule of 3" considering that the purchasing power is directly proportional to the income received and the CPI of the place where we are located. We will have:

(48 000)/60=  x/125

125(48000) = 60(x)

x = 100000

So, a job in New York should offer $100,000 for the two salaries to represent the same buying power.

Vanessa Bennett, LMFT, RYT, from a depth psychological perspective, what you cannot tolerate in yourself you cannot tolerate in
maks197457 [2]

Vanessa Bennett is a holistic psychotherapist LMFT and RYT, author of the book "It's Not Me, It's You" that takes a deep psychological perspective on the analogy of characteristics you can't tolerate in yourself, can't tolerate in others.

<h3 /><h3>How important are interpersonal relationships to an individual?</h3>

Interpersonal relationships are essential for the maintenance of social order, since through coexistence with other individuals, human beings develop cognitively, create emotional bonds, increase communication and understanding of the world around them.

Through the process of socialization, an individual learns several characteristics for living in society and directing their actions and beliefs, primarily in their family environment and later through social experiences, such as at school and work.

Therefore, from a psychological point of view, as in the approach of therapist Vanessa Bennett, it is necessary to understand their triggers, traumas and personal improvement needs in order to develop their relationships in an ethical and empathic way.
