The prices of consumer goods do not always exactly follow the CPI. The following chart shows several consumer items, along with

The reasonable estimate of the current customer price index is 195. The option B is the correct option.

<h3>Customer price index</h3>

Customer price index is the price index which measures the weight average of price of basket of customers goods or services.

It can be given as,

$\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100$

Here $\rm C_t$ is the cost of market basket in current period and $\rm C_0$ is the cost of market basket in the base period.

Cost of market basket in current period is

$\rm C_t=15.66+119.75+23.99+37.50\\\\C_t=196.9$

Cost of market basket in 1983 is,

$\rm C_0=8.85+71.25+13.95+22.7\\\\C_0=116.8$

Substitute all the values in the formula

$\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{C_t}{C_0}\times 100\\\\\rm CPI_t=\dfrac{196.9}{116.8}\times 100\\\\\rm CPI_t=1.685\times 100 \\\\ CPI_t=168.5\\\\\rm CPI_t= 170 \ \rm approx$

Thus the value of current CPI is 168.5 which is near about the 170.

Hence, the reasonable estimate of the current customer price index is 195. The option B is the correct option.

Negative one fourths times negative six elevenths

Ipatiy [6.2K]

You multiply fractions simply by multiplying numerators and denominators with each other:

$-\dfrac{1}{4} \times \left(-\dfrac{6}{11}\right) = \dfrac{1 \times 6}{4 \times 11} = \dfrac{6}{44} = \dfrac{3}{22}$

In 12 games last season the school baseball team scored 5, 11, 2, 0, 4, 8, 9, 6, 7, 4, 1, and 2 runs. What is the average number

Mashcka [7]

Hello there!

First, we need to put our data set into proper numerical order (least to greatest).

Set: , 1,2,2,4,4,5,6,7,8,9,11

Now, to find the mean, we need to add them all up.

1 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 + 11 = 59

Then, divide it by how many numbers there are : 12

59 divided by 12 = 4.9166667

Round it to the nearest tenth.

4.9166667 = 4.9

This means the average number of runs scored per game is 4.9 runs.

a painter bought 8 gallons of paint just enough to cover 2 rooms. One room is twice the size of the other and requires only 2 co

e-lub [12.9K]

So, he's got 8 gallons of paint, to paint the two rooms, of the two rooms, one is twice as big as the other

now, "x" is how many gallons to paint the larger room with only one coat, however, the larger room uses 2 coats, so, the larger room uses 2x of paint
now, the client declined to paint the smaller one

so hmmm as I read... well, we dunno how many coats will go to the smaller room for one, we know the larger will use 2 coats, or 2x.. if we assume the smaller room was going to use say 1 coat or 1/2x

then one can say the painter bought enough for both rooms, 1coat for the small one and 2coats for the larger one

so, the paint the larger room, you'll 2x of paint, for 2coatsand to paint the smaller room, you'll need 1/2 x, because x gallons is how much is needed for the larger room, but the larger room is twice as big, thus the smaller room uses 1/2 of that in gallons

thus, with those assumptions, that the small room will use only 1 coat
$\bf \cfrac{1}{2}x+2x=8\implies \cfrac{5x}{2}=8\implies x=\cfrac{16}{5}$
that's who many gallons are needed for 1 coat in the larger roomrecall "x" is 1coat for the larger room

now, the client decides to skip the smaller roomso, the painter will only need 2x gallons then

$\bf 2x\implies 2\cdot \cfrac{16}{5}\implies \cfrac{32}{5}\implies 6.4\ gallons$

he bought 8 gallons, 8 - 6.4, he's got left 1.6 gallons
