CPI in 1960 = 29.6

CPI in 1980 = 82.4

Growth (%) in CPI = \frac{\text{CPI in 1980 - CPI in 1960}}{\text{CPI in 1960}} × 100

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = \frac{82.4-29.6}{29.6} × 100

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.3783.. %

⇒ Growth (%) in CPI = 178.4%

Now, we know that price of frozen chicken pie in 1960 = $0.28

Also, we know that over 1960 to 1980, frozen chicken pie price grew at the same rate as CPI

Hence, Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = Price of Chicken Pie in 1960 × (1 + Growth in CPI)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 × (1 + 178.4%)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + (0.28 × 178.4%)

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.49952

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = 0.28 + 0.50

⇒ Price of Chicken Pie in 1980 = $0.78

Hence, price of chicken pie in 1980 would be ~$0.78

Simplify the ration expression
\frac{3x-6}{x-2}

start by seeing if anything in the numerator or denominator can be factored,
you should notice that you can factor out a 3 from 3x-6 in the numerator

when you do so, the result is
\frac{3 *(x-2)}{x-2}

now, since there is an x-2 in the numerator and denominator, they "cancel" out since

\frac{x-2}{x-2} =1
however, only when x \neq 2
since \frac{0}{0} \neq 1

when you cancel out the x-2, you're left with 3

hence, your answer is C

Exercise 1: Solve the follo<br> a) 3x + 5 = 36<br><br> What’s the answer
Dafna11 [192]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 5 = 36

3x = 36 - 5 = 31 (subtract 5 on both sides)

3x = 31

x = 31/3 (divide 3 on both sides)

Hence x = 31/3.
