The overall rate of inflation may have fallen dramatically, but the big picture is more complicated

I’d like to see this year compared to two years ago. I’m no statistician so I don’t know how to do that math (do you just add the ~7% from last year and the ~3% from this year together?).
2 0 ReplyAlmost. An increase of 7% is: 1 + 0.07 = 1.07. A further 3% increase is 1.03 times that, which results in 1.07 x 1.03 = 1.102 or a 10.2% increase.
1 0 ReplyThank you. So when they say inflation was ‘only’ ~3% they’re making it sound better than it really is. 🤮
