Answer:
Egg cost increase during the period: (C) 186%
Wages increase during the period: (B) 49%
Explanation:
To calculate the rise in egg cost we will do as follow:
[tex]\frac{current}{base} -1[/tex]
being current year 2015 at 2.75
and base year 2000 at 0.96 we got:
[tex]\frac{2.75}{0.96} -1[/tex]
1.8645833 = 186.46%
we do the same process for wages:
[tex]\frac{21.26}{14.28} -1[/tex]
0.48879551 = 48.88% = 49%
