**CPI Values and Inflation Rate Calculation from 1990 to 2000**

The table below presents the Consumer Price Index (CPI) values (multiplied by 100) for each year from 1990 to 2000. Your task is to calculate and fill in the inflation rate for each year starting from 1991. The inflation rate should be computed as the percentage increase in CPI from the previous year and reported rounded to one decimal place.

**Instructions:** Enter your responses in the table below.

| Year | CPI  | Inflation Rate (%) |
|------|------|---------------------|
| 1990 | 130.7| —                   |
| 1991 | 136.2|                     |
| 1992 | 140.3|                     |
| 1993 | 144.5|                     |
| 1994 | 148.2|                     |
| 1995 | 152.4|                     |
| 1996 | 156.9|                     |
| 1997 | 160.5|                     |
| 1998 | 163.0|                     |
| 1999 | 166.6|                     |
| 2000 | 172.2|                     |

To calculate the inflation rate for a given year, use the formula:

\[ 
\text{Inflation Rate} = \left( \frac{\text{CPI in current year} - \text{CPI in previous year}}{\text{CPI in previous year}} \right) \times 100 
\]
