Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Ege 2021

The Seattle resident should be considered  $32.21/CPI when it is  more than the Atlanta resident.

What is the consumer price index?

It is applied for determining the inflation.

For comparing the purchasing power here first we have to adjust the income with respect to inflation and then divide the incomes

So it can be like

Real income of the person from Atlanta =  [tex]$32,800 / 168[/tex] = 195.24

Real income of the person from Seattle = [tex]$46,400 / 204[/tex] = 227.45

So,

Difference in real income should be

= 227.45  195.24

= $32.21
