    Explanation:

    Product Quantity (Weight) Base-year price Current-year price

    X 400 1.00 1.50

    Y 150 1.00 0.50

    Z 220 1.00 4.60

    CPI = Cost of market basket in Current Period x 100

    Cost of market basket in Base Period

    CPI = 400 * 1.50 + 150 * 0.50 + 220 * 4.60 x 100

    400 * 1.00 + 150 * 1.00 + 220 * 1.00

    CPI = 1,687.00 x 100

    770.00

    CPI = 2.19 x 100

    CPI = 219.09
