Question

1. if a load of bread cost 25 cents two years ago, how much does it cost now

Answer 1

Answer:

It goes around 63 to 75 cents

Explanation:

The text mentions that prices in Ethiopia have been rapidly rising in the last two years and that things have changed greatly.

It is mentioned in the text (the third paragraph) how the prices have been raised to 250 to 300 percent. This means they are 2.5 to 3 times higher.

In case the loaf of bread was 25 cents two years ago, today in Ethiopia it would cost around 63 to 75 cents.

We count these final prices by multiplying 0.25 with 2.5 and 3.
