Consumer Price Index or also most commonly known as CPI is calculated through the equation,
                      CPI = (price at a certain year / price at base year) x 100
Since, we have chosen 2014 as the base year, the denominator of the fraction will be $86. Calculating the CPI for 2015,
                       CPI = ($90/$86) x 100
                              = <em>104.65</em>

A new car's original price is $13,999. If it's on sale<br> for 10% off, what's the new price?
blsea [12.9K]
To find new price after discount we are going to find 10% of $13,999.00, then subtract the discount amount from $13,999.00.

13,999.00 × ¹⁰/₁₀₀ = $1,399.90

13,999.00 - 1,399.90 = $12,599.10

Therefore, new price = $12,599.10

How to set up a problem for law of sines when m
Sergeu [11.5K]
I think you meant to have more of a problem stated.
Basically, you use the Law of Sines when you have 2 angles but the length of only one side.

The formula for this law is
a / sine(A) = b / sine(B) = c / sine(C)

Which expression is equivalent to 4.35 - 5.5?
Drupady [299]

Answer:  4.35 - 5.5 = -1.15 ≈ - (23÷20)

Step-by-step explanation:  

4.35 - 5.5= -1.15

The equivalent equation to 4.35 - 5.5 will be,

-1.15 ≈ - (23÷20)

Eight sided dice can be described as two square based pyramids stuck together at
kobusy [5.1K]
It costs $3.63 more for the gold die than the gold plated die.

The volume of each half of the die is given by the formula

V=1/3s³.

This means the total volume is V = 2(1/3s³) = 2(1/3(2³)) = 16/3 = 5.33 mm³.

For the solid gold die, we know that it weighs 0.02g per mm³:

5.33(0.02) = 0.1066g

Gold costs $40.38 per gram:
40.38(0.1066) = $4.30

For the plastic die, plastic weighs 0.01 g per mm³:
0.01(5.33) = 0.0533g

Plastic costs $10 per gram:
0.0533(10) = 0.533 ≈ $0.54.

We also need to find the surface area, as it will be painted.  Each face is an equilateral triangle; the area of a triangle is given by the formula

A = 1/2bh

We need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the height.  The height will be one leg and 1/2 of the base will be the other; the slanted side will be the hypotenuse:

h² + (1/2(2))² = 2²
h² + 1² = 2²
h² + 1 = 4
h² = 3
h = √3

The area of the triangle would then be A = 1/2bh = 1/2(2)(√3) = √3.  There are 8 such faces on the die, so the total surface area would be 8√3 = 13.86mm².

Paint costs $0.01 per mm²:
13.86(0.01) = 0.1386 ≈ $0.14

Together the cost for the plastic is 0.14+0.53 = $0.67.

The difference between it and the cost for the gold die is 4.30 - 0.67 = $3.63.

If lim x-&gt; infinity ((x^2)/(x+1)-ax-b)=0 find the value of a and b
MAXImum [283]

We have

\dfrac{x^2}{x+1}=\dfrac{(x+1)^2-2(x+1)+1}{x+1}=(x+1)-2+\dfrac1{x+1}=x-1+\dfrac1{x+1}

So

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac{x^2}{x+1}-ax-b\right)=\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(x-1+\frac1{x+1}-ax-b\right)=0

The rational term vanishes as <em>x</em> gets arbitrarily large, so we can ignore that term, leaving us with

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left((1-a)x-(1+b)\right)=0

and this happens if <em>a</em> = 1 and <em>b</em> = -1.

To confirm, we have

\displaystyle\lim_{x\to\infty}\left(\frac{x^2}{x+1}-x+1\right)=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{x^2-(x-1)(x+1)}{x+1}=\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac1{x+1}=0

as required.
