Price of good A increases by $0.15

Price of good B increases by $0.70

Price of good C decreases by $0.15 

Inflation means general price rise in an economy

If a person buys 10 units of good A then he has to pay $1.5 more than the year 2015 

If a person buys 10 units of good B in 2016 then he has to pay $7 more than the year 2015

If 5 units of C that has to pay $0.75 less than the previous year
