GP 2 Week 6
Kim said her grocery items cost $25.86. Her mom said that twenty years ago the same items would have cost $20. At this rate, how much would it cost to purchase groceries now which would have cost $50 twenty years ago?
England 7 Within 20 years the price of the groceries increased by $5.86. So within another 20 years the price will increase by $5.86. So the answer is $55.86.
England 2 The price 20 years ago increased by $5.86. After another 20 years the price would increase $5.86. Then divide 1, 293 by 20 and your answer will be $55.86.
England 7 Within the time spand of 20 years the price of the groceries increased by $5.86. So within another time spand 20 years the price will increase by $5.86. So the final answer is $55.86.
England 7 the cost of the groceries will be $64.65. how I got my answer is I multiplied 25.86 by 50 the I divided the answer I got (1293) by 20. (25.86/20 = x/50) so the cost would be $64.65
England 7 The price 20 years ago increased by $5.86.20 years later the price would have increased by $5.86. Then divide 1,293 by 20 and your answer will be $55.86.
I multiplied $25.68 by 2, and I got $51.72. Back then $51.72 would cost $40. In order to get the other $10, you have to divide $25.68 and you get $12.93. Finally you add $51.72 and $12.93 and you get $64.65.
