    The nominal wage in 2003 = $15.22

    The nominal wage in 2004 = $15.565

    Explanation:

    Inflation = [ (CPI of 2003 - CPI of base year) : CPI of Base year ] * 100

    = [ (184 - 100) : 100 ] * 100

    = 84%

    Therefore,

    The wage will increase by this inflation to be nominal

    = 8.28 * (1.84)

    = $15.23

    Similarly

    Inflation = [ (CPI of 2004 - CPI of base year) : CPI of Base year ] * 100

    = [ (188.9 - 100) : 100 ] * 100

    = 88.9%

    Therefore,

    The wage will increase by this inflation to be nominal

    = 8.24 * (1.889)

    = $15.565

    Hence,

    The nominal wage in 2003 = $15.22

    The nominal wage in 2004 = $15.565
