    The price level will increase 20%. The right answer is B.

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate how much will the price level increase, we require to calculate according to the data we have the new price level.

    Hence, New price level = 6 + [ (1 - 4 / 10) * 2 ]

    = 6 + [ (1 - 0.40) * 2 ]

    = 6 + (0.60 * 2)

    = 6 + 1.20

    = $ 7.20

    Therefore, the Increase in price level = (7.20 - 6) / 6

    = 1.20 / 6

    = 0.20=20 %

    The price level will increase 20%.
