Find the value of C.

1 answer

To find the value of C, we need to find the index value for 2000 based on the new base year of 2005.

To convert the values from 2000=100 to 2005=100, we need to multiply the 2000=100 values by the ratio of the 2005=100 value over the 2000=100 value.

The ratio of 2005=100 value over the 2000=100 value is 125/100 = 1.25

So, to find the value of C:
C = 100 * 1.25
C = 125

Therefore, the value of C is 125.
