Provide an appropriate response.If you knew the inflation rates for the years 1987 through 1995, how would you convert $1000 in 1995 dollars to 1987 dollars?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. One possibility is to start with $1000 in 1995; if the inflation rate was 6% for the last year, solve the equation x + 0.06x = 1000 to find the value of $1000 the year before. Continue the process year by year until 1987.
