5. The prices Bullard paid for internet and cable services in 2008 and 2019 are shown below. Using 2008 as the base year, compute a 2019 price index for internet and cable cost. 2008 2019 Cable $16,943 $27,443 Internet $15,460 $26,994 1. Provide the index of the cable for 2019 (Round to the second (2nd) decimal place) 2. Provide the index for the internet for 2019 (Round to the second (2nd) decimal place) 3. Which increased at a greater rate?
Unitary Method
The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.
Speed, Time, and Distance
Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 miles away.
Profit and Loss
The amount earned or lost on the sale of one or more items is referred to as the profit or loss on that item.
Units and Measurements
Measurements and comparisons are the foundation of science and engineering. We, therefore, need rules that tell us how things are measured and compared. For these measurements and comparisons, we perform certain experiments, and we will need the experiments to set up the devices.
