If the consumer price index changes from 125 in september to 150 in october, the rate of inflation is a. 20.0%

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Inflation is a sustained increase in the general price level of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. When inflation is too high, it is not good for the economy or individuals. Inflation always reduce the value of money, unless interest rates are higher than inflation. The less chance there is that savers will see the real return on their money if the inflation gets higher. There are causes of inflation such as demand-pull and Cost-push. They are responsible for a general rise in prices in an economy.

Policies to reduce inflation are such as monetary policy (Higher interest rates), Tight fiscal policy (Higher income tax and/or lower government spending that will reduce aggregate demand and leading to lower growth and less demand pull inflation).

The rate of inflation = 20%.

September's price = 125

October's price = 150

Rate of inflation = $\frac{(150-125)}{125} * 100$

$\frac{25}{125 } *100$

$=0.2 * 100 \\= 20%$

The rate of inflation is analogous to the percent difference of the original to the new price. Thus, its formula is written as:

Rate of Inflation = [New price - Base price]/Base Price * 100
Rate of inflation = (150 - 125)/125 * 100 = 20%

Question about decimals

meriva

Answer:

Both are terminating decimals

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Answer to your questions:</u>

First of all, both A and B are correct and both quotients are terminating decimals.

To find out if the decimal is terminating or not, multiply the quotient by divisor. If you get exactly the same number as dividend, then it is terminating otherwise it is non-terminating.

The fraction may have greater numerator than denominator, in this case the quotient will be greater than one.
Now regarding simplification. You would be asked to give an answer rounded to some extend. One decimal place, two decimal places, 3 significant numbers etc. For the first operation you would get 34.8 (rounded to nearest tenth).
Or you may be asked to have a best estimated result. In this case you would round the initial numbers and find results. 205/714 ≈ 0.29

Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other r

erastova [34]

Answer:

The probability is $\frac{56!}{64!}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can divide the amount of favourable cases by the total amount of cases.

The total amount of cases is the total amount of ways to put 8 rooks on a chessboard. Since a chessboard has 64 squares, this number is the combinatorial number of 64 with 8, $64 \choose 8 .$

For a favourable case, you need one rook on each column, and for each column the correspondent rook should be in a diferent row than the rest of the rooks. A favourable case can be represented by a bijective function $f : A \rightarrow A ,$ with A = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}. f(i) = j represents that the rook located in the column i is located in the row j.

Thus, the total of favourable cases is equal to the total amount of bijective functions between a set of 8 elements. This amount is 8!, because we have 8 possibilities for the first column, 7 for the second one, 6 on the third one, and so on.

We can conclude that the probability for 8 rooks not being able to capture themselves is

$\frac{8!}{64 \choose 8} = \frac{8!}{\frac{64!}{8!56!}} = \frac{56!}{64!}$

The seventh grade class is raising money to have a class trip at the end of the year. They began the year with $1500. They now h

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

The percent of the increase for the money the class raised is 10 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Because if you divide 1500 by 10 you get 150 that means 150 is 10 % of 1500 and if you add 150 to 1500 you get 1650 so the increase of money the class raised is 10 %

I hope this helped :)
