Now that it is time for her to attend her 30 year high school reunion, Kelsey's income has risen to $97,000 and the CPI is 230.

    The correct answer is Real income Rise since last time.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

    At 20 year reunion

    Earning = $50,000

    CPI = 120

    At 30 year reunion

    Earning = $97,000

    CPI = 230

    So, Change in CPI Percentage = [ (230 - 120) : 120] * 100

    = [110 : 120] * 100

    = 0.9167 or 91.67%

    Now Change in earning percentage = [ ($97,000 - $50,000) : $50,000] * 100

    = [$47,000 : $50,000] * 100

    = 0.94 or 94.00%

    As, Change in earning percentage > Change in CPI Percentage

    Hence, it shows that the real income has risen since the last the.
