A candy bars price has increased 20 fold in the past 50 years.  Does that mean that by 2050 candy will be $20?

I noticed that too. Companies with products like Chips Ahoy, Oreos, Dairy Queen, the cookies are a lot smaller I have a cup that before you had to bite off both sides of cookie to fit in cup, now it drops in without biting and room to spare, Oreos Double Stuff are like how reg. Oreos were, companies using smaller containers, making Hershey bars thinner and smaller, they make stuff smaller, charge more, why can't they leave it same size and raise price. Houses $10,000 cost $80,000 in just 5 years, college 10 years ago was $32.00 a credit hr. now it's 75.00 a credit, most classes 4 credits that I was taking. Servers get $2.13 an hour plus tips so in 1995 their boss gave them 2.13 and they had to get 2.13 from customers an hour then to went to 5.15 so boss still only gives 2.13 and servers make 3.02 an hour, boss' side never goes up, server goes up. So when min. wage goes up to 20.00  boss gives 2.13 and you 18.00??  Also gas prices a few years ago cheapest 87 cents to 1.27 now 2.69  - 300   when min. wage increases the companies figure you make more so I'll increase my prices.  Also we are between welfare level and middle class, we make it with finagling and 15.00 left at end of month, but welfare people in apt. complex next door, deal drugs, don't work, but work on their car stereos, and have tons of food, it doesn't make sense.  Welfare to those who need it, not those that refuse to work.  Everything raises because the wealthy don't want to live like us, so they don't lower prices they get greedier. Also the government gave themselves 8 raises since min. wage was increased but we never got 8 raises.  They increased their annual salary of about 89,000 - 200,000   by another 32,000   how would you like a raise of 32,000.

My Overstreet price guide is a few years old, but it has the following.\n\nGood - $30,000\nFine - $70,000\nVery Fine - $110,000\nNear Mint - $200,000\n\nOf course, a comic book is only worth what you can sell it for. So, these prices are subject to change.

well here in ireland it seems to be that inflation is bringin prices up. that and prices were brought up by stealth by business men during the changeover. \n\nfor instnace there is a doughnut shop on oconnel street in dublin and is usta be 1pound for 4 doughnuts.\n\nafter the change over it was 1.50 euro for 4. and the change rate was 1poiund = 1.27 euro. it is now 3 doughnuts for 1.50 euro.\n\nso yes ppl are gettin ripped off and they are not doing anything about it...

Mike's Bakery makes brownies that cost $.80 each. \n\n15 percent of the brownies will spoil and thus are not salable. \n\nMike wants a 35 percent markup based on cost. Mike produces 500 brownies. Each brownie should sell for??? \n\n-----------------------------------------\n\nWe know the cost of the brownies which is .80 cents each.\n\nWe know the amount of the brownies, which is 500.\n\nWe know that 15% will spoil, and cannot be sold.\n\n15% of 500 is 75 brownies.  This means that only 425 brownies can be sold.\n\nThe true cost of the brownies is 500 brownies * .80 cents = 400 dollars\n\nIf we need to make a 35% markup BASED ON ACTUAL MANUFACTURING COST (not on the amount we can sell). That means we need to make $140 dollars profit (35% of $400 = $140)\n\nWe know that we will be able to only sell 425 brownies\n\nTotal amount of money that we need to make then is $540.  It takes $400 (to cover manufacturing costs) + $140 (profit) = $540\n\nSo we take the gross needed to be made ($540) and divide that by the amount of brownies that we can sell (425)\n\nWhich then gives us how much we need to charge for each brownie, which works out to be approximately $1.27 if rounded lower.  However we need to make sure we have at least a 35% markup, so we automatically round up to $1.28.

1st Problem:\n\nLet's see, if we sell 198 thousand candy bars, we are giving them away, which is terrific for volume, but bad for profit.    \n\nRevenue = x P(x), = 9x-(x^2/22)  differentiate to get 9-(2x/22) so x/11=9 x=99\n\nPrice would be  4.50

lol it's primary exercise\n\ncall the number of $20 bills is X and the number of $50 is Y. \nWe have 20X+50Y=1000 and X+Y=32\n=> 20(32-Y)+50Y=1000\n=> 640 + 30Y   =1000\n=>       30Y   =360\n=>         Y   =12\n=>         X   =20\n        THAT'S ALL

i assume you want a demonstration of the use of numbers and math in daily life... try these\n\n1. suppose brand a of candy sells for 2.37 for an 8 oz bag and brand b sells for 3.05 for a 11 oz bag ask audience which is a better deal ?, why ?, how can we compare the 2 brands to get a definite answer ? Now you introduce the idea of unit price which is $amount/weight do this for each brand. The smaller value for the two brands is the better unit price or the better deal.\n\nfind three different size circles. measure for each one the distance around the circle and the distance across the center of it write these values down for each circle.  Now for each pair of measurements divide the around value by the across value. ask the audience to compare the three quotients and note anything unusual.  what will happen is that no matter the size of the circle distance around/distance across is the same value about 3.14159. now state that pi is the ratio of dist. around / dist. across for a circle and is the same regardless of size of circle

Going how far back in years?   1983 $25 today would have been approximately equivelent to $12.65 according to the government.\n1960  $3.76\n1940   $1.77\n1900   $1.11\n1850    $1.025\n1800    $1.51\n1700    $1.025\n\nNotice something interesting?   Inflation picked up dramatically as government deficit spending increase.  Governments say, "What the heck.  Let's pay back our debts in inflated dollars."\n\nhttp://oregonstate.edu/Dept/pol_sci/fac/sahr/derive_infcf16652005.pdf
