When the average price of an item increases from p1 to p2 over a period of n years, the annual rate of inflation r (in decimal form) is given by r=(p2p1)1/n−1. The average price of a gallon of milk increased from $0.36 in 1913 to $3.53 in 2013. What was the annual rate of inflation r? Write your answer in decimal form to the nearest thousandth.

the annual rate of inflation r is 0.023

Step-by-step explanation:

Given by the expression:

The average price of a gallon of milk increased from $0.36 in 1913 to $3.53 in 2013.

Let

n = 2013 - 1913 = 100

replacing our values into the given equation; then the annual rate of inflation r is as follows:

r = 0.023

Hence, the annual rate of inflation r is 0.023

the two may have that, even a breakdown is probably offered

can you rephrase the question ? it is unclear : -)
