The value of the CPI (Consumer Price Index) is calculated by dividing first the current period price by the base period price and multiply the quotient by 100. Using the first set of values, we get base period price.
CPI = (current period price / base period price) x 100
191 = (93.11 / base period price) x 100
base period price = 48.75

Then, using this base period price and the second current period price, we solve for the second CPI
CPI = (76.05 / 48.75) x 100
CPI = 156
Therefore, the answer to this item is letter C.

Will give brainlest plz help!!!Which relation is a function?

Levart [38]

The correct answer is the graph in the top right corner because it is a constant function. The bottom left graph is also considered a function but is an absolute function. So both are technically correct.

Adult tickets for the school play are $12.00 and children's tickets are $8.00. If a theatre holds 300 seats and the sold out per

Vaselesa [24]

Let x = number of adult tickets, and y = number of children tickets. One equation must deal with the number of tickets, and the other equation must deal with the revenue from the tickets.

Then x + y = 300 is the number of tickets
12x + 8y = 3280 is the revenue from the tickets.

Using the substitution method:

x + y = 300   ⇒   y = 300 - x   ⇒   Equation (3)

12x + 8y = 3280   ⇒   12x + 8(300-x) = 3280   ⇒   x = 220

y = 300 - x   ⇒   y = 300-220 ⇒ 80

Therefore 220 adult tickets and 80 children's tickets were sold.

1/2 - 3/4 equals what

n200080 [17]

1. Method 1: By Listing MultiplesList out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.

2: 2 , 4

4: 4
Therefore, the LCD is 4

Method 2: By Prime FactorsList all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.
Therefore, the LCD is 2 x 2 = 4

2. Make the denominators the same as the LCD

 $\frac{1 x 2}{2 x 2} - \frac{3}{4}$

3. Simplify. Denominators are now the same.

 $\frac{2}{4} - \frac{3}{4}$

4. Join the denominators

$\frac{2-3}{4}$

5. Simplify

 $-\frac{1}{4}$

Done! :) Decimal Form: -0.25
