    The Consumer Price Index is calculated through the equation,

    CPI = (current period price/base period price) x 100

    The base period is 1983. Solving the CPIs for 2000 and 2005

    (2000)

    CPI = ($28.94/$16.35) x 100 = 177

    (2005)

    CPI = ($32.54/$16.35) x 100 = 199

    The difference between the CPIs of 2005 and 2000 is 199 - 177 = 22.
