Suppose that consumers purchase fish and computer chips. In 2010, 1 pound of fish cost $1, a computer chip cost $1, and the typical consumer bought 10 pounds of fish and 10 computer chips. In 2011, 1 pound of fish cost $2, a computer chip cost $0.50, and the typical consumer bought 5 pounds of fish and 20 computer chips. In 2012, 1 pound of fish cost $2.10, a computer chip cost $0.90, and the typical consumer bought 12 pounds of fish and 20 computer chips. Using 2011 as the base year, the inflation rate between 2011 and 2012 is _____ percent.
Each small square in the grid for this graph has one side equal to 1 pound of bolts and one side equal to 1 dollar per pound. The area of one small square is therefore_______. There are ________ small squares in the purple shaded rectangle. On this graph, the area of the purple rectangle corresponds to: Jack Hardware’s revenue from selling bolts, measured in dollars The price of the bolts, measured in dollars per pound The number of bolts that Jack Hardware sold, measured in pounds None of these—the area has no meaning Now suppose Jack Hardware lowers its price to $3.00 per pound of bolts. As a result, it now sells 8 pounds of bolts. Use the blue rectangle to draw the area that corresponds to the new price and quantity. Did lowering the price of bolts increase Jack Hardware’s revenue?
