The Inflation Rate equation is used to demonstrate the percentage change in the price of a given quantity of goods held fixed over a period of time.  Using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) figures from September 2001 and September of 2006, we are able to calculate the change in the Inflation Rate from September 2001 to September 2006.  In doing this, one is able to see how the forces on the market have been used to raise the prices of goods by a given percent.  With the inflation rate of crude oil and the inflation rate of the rest of the economy one can now compare the two side-by-side to see how different the two are.
