Answer:

...1969, the price of 5 kilograms of flour was SO.75. In 1970 the price was increased by 15 cents.

, it costs 0.75+0.15=0.90

--->new price in 1970 = $0.75 + $0.15 = $0.90 for 5 kilograms of flour

in 1971 it fell by 5%

5% decrease= 1-(5/100)=0.95

0.9*0.95=$0.855

new price: $0.855

What was the price of 5 grams of flour in 1971?

5grams? or 5 kg? I think you wanted to write 5kg

new price 5kg: $0.855
