Suppose a group of consumers spend 30% of their disposable income on food, 20% on
clothing, and 50% on rent. If over the course of a year the price of food rises 10%, the price
of clothing drops 5% and rent rises 15%, what is the average price increase experienced by
these consumers?
2. Two guinea pigs (one male and one female) swim to shore after their boat sank off the coast of
Nova Scotia. They begin to reproduce, and the population grows at a rate that is proportional
to its size. In the year 1932, there were 1,000 guinea pigs living in Nova Scotia, and the next
year there were 1,500. What year did the boat sink?
