The prices (in Rs) of different yarns (per kg) in two consecutive years are as follows. Commodity Silk Cotton Jute Rayon Price(in 2016) 600 700 400 300 Price (in 2017) 700 600 480 270 By simple aggregative method, the net price changes in % is:
net increase of 2.5% in price.
By the simple aggregative method, percentage change = (Σp₁ − Σp₀)/Σp₀ × 100.
Step 1 — Sum of 2016 prices: \(600+700+400+300=2000\).
Step 2 — Sum of 2017 prices: \(700+600+480+270=2050\).
Step 3 — Percentage change:
\[\frac{2050-2000}{2000}\times 100 = \frac{50}{2000}\times 100 = 2.5\%\]
Since the change is positive, it is a net increase of 2.5%.
