Answer:

decreased by 4.5%

Explanation:

A family consumes: 10 pizzas, 7 pairs of jeans, and 20 gallons of milk.

In 2016, pizzas cost $10 each, jeans cost $40 per pair, and milk cost $3 per gallon.

The family's total cost of living in 2016 is:

C_{2016} = 10*\$10 +7*\$40 +20*\$3\\C_{2016} = \$440

In 2017, pizzas cost $8 each, jeans cost $40 per pair, and milk cost $3 per gallon.

The family's total cost of living in 2017 is:

C_{2017} = 10*\$8 +7*\$40 +20*\$3\\C_{2016} = \$420

The change, in percentage, of a typical family's cost of living is:

R=\frac{C_{2017}-C_{2016}}{C_{2016}} \\R=\frac{420-440}{440} \\R=0.045\ or\ 4.5\%

The cost of living decreased by 4.5%
