Consider Tralfamadore, a hypothetical country that produces only burritos. In 2018, a burrito is priced at $4.00. Complete the first row of the table with the quantity of burritos that can be bought with $300.
Hint: In this problem, assume it is not possible to buy a fraction of a burrito, and always round down to the nearest whole burrito. For example, if
your calculations result in 1.5 burritos, the answer should be 1 burrito.
Price of a Burrito Burritos Bought with $300
Year (Dollars)
(Quantity)
2018
4.00
2019
4.80

price of a burrito in 2018 = $4.00

In 2018, you could purchase $300 / $4 = 75 burritos.

Since the money supply increased by 20% during 2019 and money neutrality holds, the price of burritos will increase by 20% to $4.80.

In 2019, you could purchase $300 / $4.80 = 62.5 ≈ 62 burritos.

By printing more money to pay its debts, the government simply increased the inflation rate and devaluated its currency.

the assumption the narrator makes in this excerpt is that the messages he heards were going to hurt the narrator's mom; the narrator just springs in to action. the narrator doesn't specify in this excerpt why he believes that the messages present a problem that requires protection.
