Answer:

10.0%

Explanation:

Inflation is the sustained rise in prices of goods and services. A rate, on the other hand, is a coefficient that expresses the relationship between two magnitudes. Both concepts allow us to approach the notion of inflation rate, which reflects the percentage increase in prices in a certain time period.

The inflation rate is calculated by dividing the two consumer price indices (110 divided by 100) and subtracting one.

Rate of inflation = (110/100) - 1 = 1.1 - 1 = 0.1 = 10.0%

Hope this helps
