If the cpi (consumer price index) of 141 increased 8.3 % this year. what was the end of year cpi?

If the CPI increased by 8.3%, therefore this means that there was a fractional increase of 0.083. So amount increased is:

CPI increase = 141 * 0.083 = 11.703

Therefore the end of year CPI is the sum of the original and the increase:

end of year CPI = 141 + 11.703 = 152.703

152.703

im not sure

step-by-step explanation:

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
