Answer: C $1.51

To solve this, start with a proportion. Put the CPI numbers on the left and the apple juice prices on the right.

You will have:

82.4/130.7 = 0.95/x

Cross multiply to solve and you will get the price of the juice is $1.51.

Answer:

The cost of the gallon of the apple juice is approximately $1.51 in 1990. (Option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

As it can be assumed that the increase of the gallon of apple juice is proportional to the increase of the CPI, we can state that the rate of the price of 1990 to the price of 1980 is the same than the rate of the CPI in 1990 to the CPI in 1980:

$130.7 / $82.4 = Pg (1990)/ $0.95

Where Pg (1990) is the apple juice gallon cost for 1990. By solving the equation above:

$130.7 / $82.4 * $0.95 = Pg (1990)

Pg (1990) = $1.5068 ---> Pg (1990) = $1.51

stich3 [128]
D = M/V where M=mass and V = volume

Assume the Mass is 1 kg and the Volume = 1 cm³, so d= 1/1 kg/cm³

for V=0.1 → d = 1/0.1 = 10 kg.cm³
for V = 0.01 → d = 100.kg.cm³
for V = 0.001 → d = 1000.kg.cm³
for V = 0.000001 → d = 1,000,000.kg.cm³
and when Volume → 0. density →∞
