Help please! Bart had an income of $38,250 last year. If the inflation rate is 4.5%, what is his purchasing power?

A. $33,614.85
B. $34,543.75
C. $34,998.15
D. $36,528.75

 D) $36,528.75

Explanation:

Positive inflation eats away at the purchasing power of money.

If inflation is 4.5%, then the purchasing power goes down by 4.5% meaning his purchasing power is 100% - 4.5% = 95.5% of what it used to be.

95.5% of $38,250 = 0.955*38250 = 36,528.75

So his purchasing power is $36,528.75
