Explain how to use the combine place values strategy to find 223-119

Vikentia [17]

So, the subtraction looks like this:

   223
-119
_______

The reason why combining place values here is necessary is that 3 is less than 9 (so I can't just substract in the one's place without going to negative numbers)

so we combine the ones and tens places and substract the whole: 23-19 is four!
   223
-119
_______
   04

and then we continue
   223
-119
_______
    204

and that's the result!

From 1960 to 1980 , the consumer price index (cpi) increased from 29.6 to 82.4. If a frozen chicken pie cost $0.28 in 1960 and t

mojhsa [17]

CPI in 1960 = 29.6

CPI in 1980 = 82.4

Growth (%) in CPI = $\frac{\text{CPI in 1980 - CPI in 1960}}{\text{CPI in 1960}}$ × 100

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = $\frac{82.4-29.6}{29.6}$ × 100

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.3783.. %

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.4%

Now, we know that price of frozen chicken pie in 1960 = $0.28

Also, we know that over 1960 to 1980, frozen chicken pie price grew at the same rate as CPI

Hence, Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = Price of Chicken Pie in 1960 × (1 + Growth in CPI)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 × (1 + 178.4%)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + (0.28 × 178.4%)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.49952

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.50

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = $0.78

Hence, price of chicken pie in 1980 would be ~$0.78
