Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the cost of the basket in 2006, we need to multiply the price of a book by 5 and the price of a calculator by 10, then add the two products:
$24 \cdot 5 + $8 \cdot 10 = $120 + $80 = $200
Similarly, in 2007:
$30 \cdot 5 + $12 \cdot 10 = $150 + $120 = $270
The increase in the cost of the basket from 2006 to 2007 is:
$270 - $200 = $70 
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
