| B | 4 | 20 | 8 | 35 | 80 | 140 | 60 | 280 |
| C | 3 | 15 | 6 | 20 | 45 | 60 | 90 | 120 |
| Total | `sum"p"_0"q"_0` = 425 | `sum"p"_0"q"_0` = 550 | `sum"p"_1"q"_0` = 1150 | `sum"p"_1"q"_1` = 1450 | ||||
(a) Laspeyre’s price index number
`"P"_01^"L" = (sum"p"_1"q"_0)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx 100`
= `1150/425 xx 100`
= 270.6
(b) Passche's price index
`"P"_01^"P" = (sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`
= `2230/550 xx 100`
= 405.5
