The table represent the consumer price index for a basket of goods and services for 3 consecutive years. calculate the inflation rate for 2014.

We'll assume that the CPI is given for the END of the year.

Then 2014's rate is the change in price from 2013 in percent,

r = 180/125 - 1 = 36/25 - 1 = 11/25 = 44 %

choice c

This is a pretty poor question.  The questioner should clarify the exact dates of the given values of the CPI, and use the actual values.   44% is an alarming inflation rate, but fortunately a fictitious one here in the US.  US inflation in 2014 was around 0.7% so the number the student was asked to compute was off by more than a factor of sixty.

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

15% chance.

step-by-step explanation:

3/10 times, the 5 year old will get a tablet. 5/10 times, the 13 yer old will get a tablet. multiply both fractions to get 15/100 times, both would have a tablet.
