Answer:

a. For 2010 =$325  For 2011 = $445

b. 136.92%

c.  38.89%

Explanation:

a. The computation of the price of each vegetable is shown below:

For year 2010:

= Cauliflower price + broccoli price + carrots price

= $200 + $75 + $50

= $325

For year 2011:

= Cauliflower price + broccoli price + carrots price

= $225 + $120 + $100

= $445

b. The computation of CPI is shown below:

= (2011 Price ÷ 2010 Price) × 100

= ($445 ÷ $325) × 100

= 136.92%

c. The inflation rate is shown below:

= (2011 per total vegetables price - 2010  per total vegetables price) ÷  2010  per total vegetables price

= ($5.00 - $3.60) ÷ $3.60

= 38.89%

Per vegetable price = (Price of each vegetable ÷ number of each vegetable)

For 2010:

Cauliflower = ($200 ÷ 100) = $2

Broccoli = ($75 ÷ 50) = $1.5

Carrots = ($50 ÷ 500) = $0.10

The total would be $3.60

For 2011:

Cauliflower = ($225 ÷ 75) = $3

Broccoli = ($120 ÷ 80) = $1.5

Carrots = ($100 ÷ 500) = $0.50

The total would be $5.00
