    The real price of recycled aluminuma. decreased, so it became less scarce

    Explanation:

    The price increase has been in the ratio

    900 / 800. But this increase also includes the effect of inflation. So if we exclude the effect of inflation, this ratio will reduce to

    (900/800) x (120 / 138)

    =.978

    So in real terms, there has been a decrease in the price level,.

    In percentage terms this decrease i -.978 = 2.2%. The real price of recycled aluminuma. decreased, so it became less scarce
