This will be my 9th rose bowl (that i can remember). biggest difference? the price, for the same seats, just opposite sides of the field. $255 vs $36, 2020 vs 1987. o.k. mathematicians, what's the inflation rate over 33 years?

The inflation rate is 7.0833 which means the price of the seat has increased 7.0833 times the initial price over the last 33 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are supposed to find the inflation rate over 33 years for the same seat.

As time passes the price of commodities also increase and that's why there has been an increase in the price of the seat.

In 1987,the price of the seat was $36 while in 2020 the price of the same seat is $255.

Inflation rate =

                     =

                      = 7.0833

The inflation rate is 7.0833 which means the price of the seat has increased 7.0833 times the initial price over the last 33 years.

Blank 1: 12

Blank 2: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets start by figuring part a. If there are 72 erasers total and there are 6 packs, that means you must divide 72 by 6.

72 ÷ 6 = 12

There are 12 erasers per pack.

Now, lets solve part b. After what we know, there are 12 erasers per pack, that means we must now also divide 288 by 12, to find the total number of need packs of erasers.

288 ÷ 12 = 24

Mr. Sharp needs to purchase 24 packs of erasers.
