If  the  level  of  predominant  prices  at  Berlin  be  taken  as  100,  the  level  at
Elberfeld  is  represented  by  105  in  the  case  of  meat  and  of  other  food,  while  coal
is  represented  by  86,  the  figure  for  prices  as  a  whole  being  102.  Combining  this
with  the  index  number  for  rent,  the  resulting  figure  is  93,  as  compared  with
Berlin  =  100.
