On May 1, the price was $5.45 per gallon. On June 1, it was back down to $4.95 per gallon. Between April 1 and May 1, Bob's price increased by or Between May 1 and June 1, Bob's price decreased by or Suppose that at a gas station across the street, prices are always 20% higher than Bob's. In absolute dollar terms, the difference between Bob's prices and the prices across the street is when gas costs $5.45 than when gas costs $4.95. Some economists blame high commodity prices (including the price of gas) on interest rates being too low. Suppose the Fed raises the target for the federal funds rate from 2% to 2.75%. This change of percentage points means that the Fed raised its target by approximatelyarrow_forward
