Given that the value of gold and the dollar index are inversely proportional, we can express this relationship as follows:
G \cdot D = k
For 2016:
1200 \cdot 93 = k
Calculate \( k \):
k = 111600
For 2017:
Let \( D_{2017} \) be the dollar index for 2017 when the gold cost was $1300 per ounce.
Use the relationship again:
1300 \cdot D_{2017} = 111600
Solve for \( D_{2017} \):
D_{2017} = \frac{111600}{1300}
D_{2017} = 85.84615385
Round to the nearest hundredth:
D_{2017} = 85.85
Answer: The 2017 rating of the dollar was 85.85.
