The Consumer Price Index is calculated through the equation,
CPI = (current period price/base period price) x 100
The base period is 1983. Solving the CPIs for 2000 and 2005
(2000)
CPI = ($28.94/$16.35) x 100 = 177
(2005)
CPI = ($32.54/$16.35) x 100 = 199
The difference between the CPIs of 2005 and 2000 is 199 - 177 = 22.
Answer:
-18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be our number. First we have to write our equation.
The product of a number and -8 is represented as -8x (-8 multiplied by x). Remember that 'product' signifies multiplication.
The result is eight times the sum of x and 36. This is represented as 8(x + 36). We add x and 36 first because 8 has been multiplied by the sum of those two numbers.
So our equation is:
-8x = 8(x + 36)
We can now solve for x. First, expand the bracket.
-8x = 8x + 288
Next, subtract 8x from both sides. This will give us only one term containing x, which will make it easier to solve.
-8x - 8x = 8x + 288 - 8x
-16x = 288
Divide both sides by -16
x = -18
Answer:
1. a + b + c = 180
2. b + d = 180
3. d = a + c
Step-by-step explanation:
1. a + b + c = 180:
Angles in a triangle add up to 180
2. b + d = 180:
Angles in a straight line equal 180 because they are supplementary angles
3. d = a + c:
ΔACD is an exterior angle, and ΔACB is interior adjacent, hence ∠a and ∠c add up to ∠d
