Inflation is a rising general level of prices (not all prices rise at the same rate, and some may fall). To measure inflation, subtract last year’s price index from this year’s price index and divide by last year’s index; then multiply by 100 to express as a percentage. “Rule of 70” permits quick calculation of the time it takes the price level to double: Divide 70 by the percentage rate of inflation and the result is the approximate number of years for the price level to double.  If the inflation rate is 10 percent, then it will take about ten years for prices to double.
