98.5 percent.
-1.5 percent.
105.1 percent.
-2.5 percent.
The steps involved in calculating the consumer price index, in order, are as follows: *
Choose a base year, fix the basket, compute the inflation rate, compute the basket's cost, and compute the index.
Choose a base year, find the prices, fix the basket, compute the basket's cost, and compute the index.
Fix the basket, find the prices, compute the basket's cost, choose a base year and compute the index.
Fix the basket, find the prices, compute the inflation rate, choose a base year and compute the index.
