    To find the inflation rate of prom you want to start by adding the costs of each expense together under its respective year:

    2009:

    Limo = $180

    Dress = $270

    Total = $450

    2019:

    Limo = $216

    Dress = $324

    Total = $540

    Next, find the consumer price increase/inflation. To do this we will take the increase of price from 2009 to 2010 and divide by the price in 2009.

    2010 total: $540 - $450 (2009 total) = $90

    $90/$450 = 0.2 to find the percentage of inflation multiply by 100

    (.02) (100) = 20%

    The rate of prom inflation is 20%.
