The CPI rises to 150 from 120, then prices have risen 25 percent.
What does an increase in the CPI mean?
When there is an upward change in the CPI, this means there has been an increase in the average change in prices over time. This eventually leads to adjustments in the cost of living and income (presumably so that income is adjusted to meet a higher cost of living). This process is referred to as indexation.
What does it mean if the CPI is 120?
A resulting CPI of 120, for example, means that prices are 20% higher than they were in the base period. By comparing the difference in CPI in consecutive months or years, we can calculate the percentage increase in prices, giving us the inflation rate.
