2x3-180 that's suppose to be right
I hope
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:
P.7500.00
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that:
The ratio of Val's savings to Dan is 2:3 at first.
Now, Dan spent P3000.00 and Val's saving became 1⅓ more of that Dan's remaining savings.
Let's say the total amount of savings they had at first was x.
Thus;
Val had: 2x/5
Dan had: 3x/5
Now, Dan spent P3000.00.
So amount Dan has left = (3x/5) - 3000
We are told Val's savings is now 1⅓ = 4/3 times that of Dan's remaining savings
Thus; 2x/5 = (4/3)((3x/5) - 3000)
2x/5 = 12x/15 - 4000
Multiply through by 15 to get;
6x = 12x - (3000 × 15)
6x = 12x - 45000
Rearranging, we have;
12x - 6x = 45000
6x = 45000
x = 45000/6
x = P.7500
