1. index number using Simple Aggregative Method Example-1

Find index number using Simple Aggregative Method
Item Price
`p_0` Price
`p_1`
Bread 25 28
Eggs 30 35
Ghee 375 380
Milk 36 40
Cheese 440 500
Butter 265 300

Solution:

Item	Price `p_0`	Price `p_1`
Bread	25	28
Eggs	30	35
Ghee	375	380
Milk	36	40
Cheese	440	500
Butter	265	300
---	---	---
Total	`sum p_0=1171`	`sum p_1=1283`

1. Simple aggregative method :

`I=(sum p_1)/(sum p_0)xx100`

`=(1283)/(1171)xx100`

`=109.56`

Thus, there is a rise of `(109.56-100)=9.56%` in prices
