The CPI increased from 29.6 to 82.4.  

The rate of increase, is:

82.4/29.6 = 2.78

Now multiply this rate to the $0.14 price of grapes from 1960.

$0.14 x 2.78 = $0.39

Now to get the amount of increase subtract the new price from the original price:

$0.39 - $0.14 = $0.25 increase.

A used car dealer sells SUVs and cars. Of all the vehicles, 90% are cars. Of all the vehicles 40% are red cars. What is the prob
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

44.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate this, we proceed as follows.

we use the probability equation below;

P(A|B) = P(A and B) / P(B)

Applying the above to the scenario at hand;

P(red | car) = P(red and car) / P(car)

P(red and car) = 40% or simply 40/100 = 0.4

P(car) = 90% = 90/100 = 0.9

P(red | car) = 0.4/0.9

P(red | car) = 0.4444 which is = 44.44% ; to the nearest tenth of a percent = 44.4%

Find the dimension of a rectangle whose with is 6 miles less than its length and whose area is 72 square tiles
pentagon [3]

Answer:

Length = 12

Width = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Width = 6 miles less than length;

L = L

W = L - 6

Area = 72 ft²

Area = Length * width

Area = (L * L-6)

Area = L² - 6L

-

L² - 6L = 72

L² - 6L - 72 = 0

L² - 12L + 6L - 72 = 0

L(L - 12) +6(L - 12) = 0

L = 12 or L = - 6

L cannot be negative

Width = L - 6

Width = 12 - 6 = 6

Hence,

Dimension of rectangle :

Length = 12

Width = 6
