Increase in price of both shirt and pair of pants = $1

So, price of a shirt in year 2 = $(25 + 1) = $26

Price if a pair of pants in year 2 = $(20 + 1) = $21

Now, cost of 3 shirts in year 1 = 3 × $25 = $75

Cost of 2 pair of pants in year 1 = 2 × $20 = $40

So, total cost in year 1 = $(75 + 40) = $115

cost of 3 shirts in year 2 = 3 × $26 = $78

Cost of 2 pair of pants in year 1 = 2 × $21 = $42

So, total cost in year 2 = $(78 + 42) = $120

Thus, 

CPI = (total cost in year 2/total cost in year 1) × 100 

= (120/115)×100

= 104.35

Answer:

104.35

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of CPI(Consumer Price Index) for year 2:

Total price of basket in year 1 is:

=Total price of shirt+Total price of pants

=($25 × 3) + ($20 × 2)

= $115

Total price of basket in year 2 is:

= ($26 × 3) + ($21 × 2)

= $120

CPI for year 2 is:

= (Total price of basket in year 2/Total price of basket in year 2) × 100

=($120/$115) × 100

=104.35

SI=(P*R*T)/100

P=2000

R=1.5

T=6

SI=(2000*1.5*6)/100

=(2000*9)/100

=180
