    Hello,
    I would appreciate if someone please explain how the 1.31% fuel tax increase has been calculated: 1.31% = 70% x (3/160) what does 160 represents?

    My 2nd Q is 6.67% xrate calculation. I have figured out like that but why is it wrong? (1.5-1.4)/1.4 = 7.14%

    Thanks
    Kasia

    Net price of fuel = 100
    Gross price of fuel currently, including tax = 160
    New gross price of fuel = 163

    Incremental/proportional increase in price of fuel = (163 – 160)/160

    Currently something costing V$100 will cost C$100/1.40 = 71.4286, there after C$100/1.50 = 66.6667

    Change = 4.76 decrease

    % decrease = 6.67%
