  The objective of this research was to analyze the impact of the increase in
the price of fuels and its incidence on the products of the basic basket of the
El Triunfo, the province of Guayas. In the present study, the non-experimental
quantitative method was used. The study population was limited to the families
of the town, seeking to determine how their level of consumption was impacted
after the increase in fuels. Just 95 people were randomly taken. The study
instrument that was used was surveys, with a focus on the purchasing power of
families with respect to the basic basket after the increase in fuel prices.
The results were processed through Cronbach's Alpha and reflected in pie
charts. The independent and dependent variable that make up our study, were
related through a simple linear regression, to determine if they correlate with
each other.
