Unlike the quick swipe of a magnetic stripe on the back of traditional credit and debit cards, chip cards have to be left inside the terminal while the embedded chip verifies the transaction.

Ross is a senior citizen who consumes food and health care. When he retired in 2002, he consumed 90 meals and 3 medical checkups per month. Suppose in 2002 that the price of a meal was $10 and the price of a medical checkup was $73. However, in 2012, the price of a meal is $11 and the price of a medical checkup is $285. As a result, Ross consumes 100 meals and 2 medical checkups per month. Calculate a Laspeyres cost-of-living index for Ross using 100 as the base in 2002. In particular, the Laspeyres index for 2012 is (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)
