| Commodity | Base Year | Current Year | q0q1 | `sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)` | `"p"_1/sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)` | `"p"_0/sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)` | ||
| p0 | q0 | p1 | q1 | |||||
| I | 8 | 30 | 12 | 25 | 750 | 27.39 | 328.68 | 219.12 |

| Total | – | – | – | – | – | – | 847.08 | 478.32 |
From the table,
`sum"p"_1sqrt("q"_0"q"_1) = 847.08, sum"p"_0sqrt("q"_0"q"_1) = 478.32`
Walsh’s Price Index Number:
P01(W) = `(sum"p"_1sqrt("q"_0"q"_1))/(sum"p"_0sqrt("q"_0"q"_1)) xx 100`
= `(847.08)/(478.32) xx 100`
= 177.09

In the following table, Laspeyre's and Paasche's Price Index Numbers are equal. Complete the following activity to find x :
| Commodity | Base Year | Current year | ||
| Price | Quantity | Price | Quantity | |
| A | 2 | 10 | 2 | 5 |
| B | 2 | 5 | x | 2 |
Solution: P01(L) = P01(P)
`(sum "p"_1"q"_0)/(sum "p"_0"q"_0) xx 100 = square/(sum "p"_0"q"_1) xx 100`
`(20 + 5x)/square xx 100 = square/14 xx 100`
∴ x = `square`

Laspeyre's Price Index Number:
P01(L) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_0)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx 100 = square/660xx100`
∴ P01(L) = `square`
Paasche 's Price Index Number:
P01(P) = `(sum"p"_1"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_1) xx 100=(620)/(square) xx 100`
∴ P01(P) = `square`
