Answer:

c. 252

Explanation:

Calculation of what the next year's CPI will equal

Using this formula

Next year's CPI=[Consumer price index (CPI) +(Consumer price index (CPI) *Inflation rate

Let plug in the formula

Next year's CPI=[240+(240*5%)]

Next year's CPI=240+12

Next year's CPI=252.

Therefore the next year's CPI will equal 252
