    23.07%

    Explanation:

    For computing the inflation rate first we have to determine the price index for 2011 which is shown below:

    Price index for 2011 is

    = (market basket of goods and services cost in year 2011) : (market basket of goods and services cost in year 2009) * 100

    = ($160) : ($130) * 100

    = 123.07%

    Now the inflation rate is

    = (Price index for 2011 - price index for 2009) : (price index for 2009) * 100

    = (123.07 - 100) : (100) * 100

    = 23.07%

    And, the price index for 2009 is

    = ($130) : ($130) * 100

    = 100%
