Answer:

Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

CPI stands for Consumer Price index and is used to find the inflation.

The formula used to find CPI is

CPI = (Price of baskets of goods in one year/ Price of baskets of goods in base year) * 100

Here the base year is the starting year, in our case it is 1983 and price of can of paint is $16.35

So, CPI in 2000

Using the above formula and putting the values

CPI in 2000 = (28.94 / 16.35) * 100

CPI in 2000 = 177

CPI in 2005

Using the above formula and putting the values

CPI in 2005 = (32.54 / 16.35) * 100

CPI in 2005 = 199

Difference in CPI between 2000 and 2005 = CPI in 2005  - CPI in 2000

Difference in CPI between 2000 and 2005 = 199 - 177

Difference in CPI between 2000 and 2005 = 22

So, Option B is correct.

stellarik [79]

Figure out 5% of 30,000: .05 x 30,000 = 1,500

Multiply 1,500 by the number years, but subtract the first year (as you don't receive a bonus) : 1,500 x 39 =  58,500

Now add the bonus with the initial salary: 58,500 + 30,000 = 88,500.

THE ANSWER IS $88,500!!! :)

What is unit conversion ?

When a unit conversion is performed, the same property is expressed in a different unit of measurement.

Here it is given that :

Hillary spent a total of 4 hours and 35 minutes studying for her Final

We known that :

1 hours equals 60 minutes

then,

4 hours and 35 minutes will be equals to = 4x60 + 35

                                                                    = 240 + 35

                                                                    = 275 minutes

Therefore, Hillary spent a total of 275 minutes studying for his Final.
