From 1970 to 1980 the consumer price index increased from 38.8 to 82.4. if a container of onion dip cost $0.48 in 1970 and the price of onion dip increased at the same rate as the cpi from 1970 to 1980, by approximately how much did the price of a container of onion dip increase from 1970 to 1980

p ÷ r = tan(x)

step-by-step explanation:

given that there is a figure below shows a right triangle: a right triangle is shown with hypotenuse equal to q units and the length of the legs equal to p units and r units.

graph is missing so i will create the graph as per given information.

the angle between the legs having lengths p units and q units is y degrees. the angle between the legs having lengths r units and q units is x degrees.

now we need to find about what is p ÷ r equal to.

so we can use trigonometric ratio tan(x)=[altitude]/[base] to find the value of p ÷ r, because p is the altitude and r is the base.

p ÷ r=tan(x)

hence final answer is p ÷ r=tan(x).
