In 1980, when the consumer price index (cpi) was 82.4, ivan purchased a house for $71,900. assuming that the price of houses increased at the same rate as the cpi from 1970 to 1980, approximately how much would the house have cost in 1970, when the cpi was 38.8?

$33,856

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that in 1980, when the consumer price index (CPI) was 82.4, Ivan purchased a house for $71,900. The CPI in 1970 was 38.8. We are asked to find the cost of house in 1970.

Substitute the given values:

Therefore, the cost of house in 1970 was $33,856.

$450 is the answer.

step-by-step explanation:

30% of 450 = 135

450-135=315

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
