Understanding the Question
This may not be the actual way that the US government prepares the CPI, but it will provide a comparison.
You can set up a proportion. The base number for the CPI is 38.8 in 1970. That number (38.8) has more than doubled to get to 82.4, which also tells us that there was inflation. What your parents and grandparents bought in 1970 went to double the amount in 1980. Gasoline certainly did that.
Givens
CPI in 1970 = 38.8
CPI in 1980 = 82.4
Eggs 1970 = 0.25
Edgs 1980 = X
Formula substitution and solution
CPI 1970 / CPI 1980 = cost of eggs 1970 / cost of eggs 1980
38.8/82.4 = 0.25 / x Cross multiply
38.8 * x = 0.25 * 82.4
38.8 * x = 20.625
x = 20.628 /38.8
x = 0.53 dollars of 53 cents.
53 cents in 1980 which is slightly double as predicted.
Footnote
As a matter of interest, my wife tells me that eggs now cost about 3.58 where we live. That's almost 7 times as expensive as they were in 1980. Something to think about. By the way, the price quoted is in Canada.
4 + (14 - 2) = 4 + 14 - 2
A. 4 - (-14 - 2) = 4 + 14 + 2 ------------------------WRONG
B. (4 - 14 ) - 2 = 4 - 14 - 2 --------------------------WRONG
C. 4 - (-14) - (2) = 4 + 14 - 2 ------------------------RIGHT
D. 4 + 14 + (-2) = 4 + 14 - 2 ------------------------RIGHT
E. - (-4 - 14) - 2 = 4 + 14 - 2 ------------------------RIGHT
Answer: C, D and E.
Answer:
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = 12 (multiply the binomials)
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6 = 12
(x + 2) (x + 3) = x² + 5x + 6-12 = 0 (add the like term and bring the positive 12 to the other side which makes it negative)
x² + 5x + 6 = 0
Using the snowflake method - (finding the factors of 6 that adds/subtracts to give you 5).
This method will give you the factors (x + 6)(x - 1)
ZERO PROPERTY RULE:
(x + 6) = 0
x = -6
(x - 1) = 0
x = 1
The two solutions to the equation are -6 and 1.
<span>A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape where opposites sides are parallel. A rectangle is a special case of a parallelogram. All rectangles are parallelograms.
But a rectangle is a shape where opposites sides are parallel *and* all the corners are 90 degree angles. So you can't say that all parallelograms would be rectangles. Some parallelograms would be rectangles, but not all.
Rectangles are a subset of the shapes called parallelograms. But parallelograms are *not* a subset of the shapes called rectangles.
It's similar to saying all cars are vehicles. But you can't say that all vehicles are cars. </span>
