    Explanation:

    CPI stands for the consumer price index. It is a measure of inflation in a country per period.

    the CPI is calculated using the formula

    CPI1 = Cost of the basket in year1 x 100

    Cost of basket base year

    For this case, CPI = 1800 x 100

    800

    =2.25 x 100

    =225
