The Consumer Price Index is calculated through the equation,
CPI = (current period price/base period price) x 100
The base period is 1983. Solving the CPIs for 2000 and 2005
(2000)
CPI = ($28.94/$16.35) x 100 = 177
(2005)
CPI = ($32.54/$16.35) x 100 = 199
The difference between the CPIs of 2005 and 2000 is 199 - 177 = 22.
