Answer:
By 186% the price of a dozen eggs rise.
Explanation:
Given that,
Cost in December 2000 = $0.96
Cost in December 2015 = $2.75
Average wage for December 2000 = $14.28 per hour
Average wage for December 2015 = $21.26
By considering these information, we are able to calculate the increase price percentage of a dozen eggs. The calculation is shown below:
= (December 2015 price - December 2000 price ) ÷ (December 2000 price) × 100
= ($2.75 - $0.96) ÷ ($0.96) × 100
= ($1.79) ÷ ($0.96) × 100
= 186%
Thus, by 186% the price of a dozen eggs rise.
