Given the further information that the weight on energy prices in the CPI is 8 percent, by how much would the CPI have changed in December 2015 if energy prices had not changed?

Change in CPI = 0.092%

Explanation:

As we know that ,

CPI - Consumer price index

As given,

CPI is fell down by 0.1%

the weight on energy prices in the CPI is 8%

If energy is not changed means energy is constant , then

Change in CPI = 0.1% - (0.1%)(8%)

                        = 0.001 - (0.001)(0.08)

                        = 0.001 - (0.00008)

                        = 0.00092

                        = 0.092%

⇒Change in CPI = 0.092%
