We'll assume that the CPI is given for the END of the year.

Then 2014's rate is the change in price from 2013 in percent,

r = 180/125 - 1 = 36/25 - 1 = 11/25 = 44 %

Answer: choice c

----------

This is a pretty poor question.  The questioner should clarify the exact dates of the given values of the CPI, and use the actual values.   44% is an alarming inflation rate, but fortunately a fictitious one here in the US.  US inflation in 2014 was around 0.7% so the number the student was asked to compute was off by more than a factor of sixty.

Pyramid A is a square pyramid with a base side length of 12 inches and a height of 8 inches. Pyramid B is a square pyramid with
yan [13]

Answer:

<em>The volume of pyramid B is 64 times the volume of pyramid A.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Two square pyramids A and B.

Side Length of A, s_A = 12 inches

Height of A, h_A = 8 inches

Side Length of B, s_B = 48 inches

Height of B, h_B = 32 inches

To find:

How many times bigger is the volume of pyramid B than pyramid A?

OR

V_B is how many times bigger than V_A ?

Solution:

First of all, let us have a look at the formula for volume of a pyramid:

V=\dfrac{1}{3} \times \text{Area of Base} \times \text{Height}

Here, base is square, so:

V=\dfrac{1}{3} \times s^2 \times h

Volume of pyramid A:

V_A=\dfrac{1}{3} \times s_A^2 \times h_A

\Rightarrow V_A=\dfrac{1}{3} \times 12^2 \times 8 = 384\ inch^3

Volume of pyramid B:

V_B=\dfrac{1}{3} \times s_B^2 \times h_B

\Rightarrow V_B=\dfrac{1}{3} \times 48^2 \times 32 \\\Rightarrow V_B=\dfrac{1}{3} \times 12^2 \times 8 \times 4^2 \times 4\\\Rightarrow V_B=\dfrac{1}{3} \times 12^2 \times 8 \times 64\\\Rightarrow V_B= 24576\ inch^3 = 384\times 64\ inch^3\\\Rightarrow V_B = V_A\times 64\ inch^3

<em>The volume of pyramid B is 64 times the volume of pyramid A.</em>

You deposit $1200 in an account. The annual interest rate is 3%. How long will it take you to earn $108 in simple interest?
Kruka [31]

Answer:

<em>Interest = $3,888</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:

I = prt or I = p · r · t

what it stands for:

I = amount of interest

P = principal amount ($1,200)

R = interest rate (in years)(3% into decimal which would be .03)

T = amount of time (in years)($108)

so:

I = prt

I = (1,200)(.03)(108)

I = $3,888

Interest = $3,888
