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

Number of Gallons 2 4 x
Travka [436]

Answer:

The value of x is 8 gallon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a table  showing approximate conversion from gallons to liters.

Number of Gallons    2      4      x

Number of Liters      7.6  15.2  30.4

We are required to find value of x,

Given : 2 gallon is equal to 7.6 liters.

⇒  1 liter is equal to \frac{2}{7.6}=0.263 liters. ........(1)

given, x gallon equal to 30.4 liters.

⇒ 1 liter is equal to \frac{x}{30.4} liters.  .........(2)

from (1) and (2),

⇒  0.263=\frac{x}{30.4}

Solving for x, we get,

⇒  0.263 \times 30.4=x

⇒  7.9952=x

Approximately x = 8

Thus, the value of x is 8 gallon.
