The Consumer Price Index is calculated through the equation,
CPI = (current period price/base period price) x 100
The base period is 1983. Solving the CPIs for 2000 and 2005
(2000)
CPI = ($28.94/$16.35) x 100 = 177
(2005)
CPI = ($32.54/$16.35) x 100 = 199
The difference between the CPIs of 2005 and 2000 is 199 - 177 = 22.

Given:
Monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month and $2 per visit.
Hector pays $34 in pool fees total for the month.
To find:
The number of times he visit the pool.
Solution:

Answer:
Rita must work 50 days to save at least $25.
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount Rita earns per hour = $10
The saving percentage = 5%
So, the savings of Rita per hour = 5% of $10
⇒5% of $10 = 
or Rita saves $0.5 per hour.
The amount she wants to save at minimum = $25
So, let she works at the minimum of k Days.
⇒
or, 
The number of hours she has to work = 50 days
Hence, Rita must work 50 days to save at least $25.
