Textbook Question

Chapter 8.2, Problem 47E

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of inflation obtained by comparing current prices with base prices in 1982–84. We can find the inflation rate for a given time period by calculating the percent of change in the CPI over that time period. For example, the CPI in 2005 was 195.3 and in 2009 it was 214.5, so the inflation rate was 214.5 − 195.3 195.3 ≈ 0.098 = 9.8 % . Use the given graph to do Exercises 47–50. Your answers may vary slightly due to rounding.
