Princeton Review

The inflation index in Canada for the year 2008 relative to the year 2000 was 4, indicating that, the ratio of dollars spent for goods during the year 2000 to dollars spent for the same goods during the year 2008 is 1:4. Similarly, the inflation index in Australia for the year 2008 relative to the year 2000 was 5 and the inflation index in Singapore for the year 2008 relative to the year 2000 was 7. In all three countries, the price of the Model AB-i car was $120 more in 2008 than in 2000. What was the ratio between the prices of the car in Canada, Australia, and Singapore in the year 2008?

The ratio of dollars spent on goods from 2000 to 2008 is 1:4, which is in accordance with the inflation index for each year.
Let the price of model AB-i car = x
For Canada;
In 2000; model AB-i car = 1x
In 2008; model AB-i car = 4x
Difference of 2008 - 2000 = $120
4x - 1x = $120
3x = $120
x = $120/3 = $40
Price of model AB-i car in 2008 = 4x = 4 * 40 = $160

For Australia;
In 2000; model AB-i car = 1x
In 2008; model AB-i car = 5x
Difference: 5x - 1x = $120
4x = $120
x = $120/4 = $30
Price of model AB-i car in 2008 = 5x = 5 * 30 = $150

For Singapore;
In 2000; model AB-i car = 1x
In 2008; model AB-i car = 7x
Difference: 7x - 1x = $120
6x = $120
x = $120/6 = $20
Price of model AB-i car in 2008 = 7x = 7 * 20 = $140

The ratio between the prices of the car in Canada, Australia and Singapore in 2008 are as follow;
$$=\frac{160}{10}:\frac{150}{10}:\frac{140}{10}$$
$$=16:15:14$$

Therefore, the correct answer to this question is option D

Let c, a, and s be the prices of the car in Canada, Australia, and Singapore, respectively, in 2000. Therefore, 4c, 5a and 7s are the prices of the car in Canada, Australia, and Singapore, respectively, in 2008. We can now create the equations:

c + 120 = 4c, a + 120 = 5a, and s + 120 = 7s.

Solving these equations, we have:

3c = 120

c = 40

And

4a = 120

a = 30

and

6s = 120

s = 20.

Therefore, in 2008, the price of the car is 4(40) = 160 in Canada, 5(30) = 150 in Australia, and 7(20) = 140 in Singapore. Thus the ratio of the prices is 160:150:140 or 16:15:14.
