Answer #1

Solution:-

Month	Pasta	Yogurt	Lemonade	Total Cost	Status
January	1.92	0.95	1.90	(1.92 * 20 + 0.95 * 55 + 1.90 * 10) = 109.65
February	2.05	1.05	2.10	(2.05 * 20 + 1.05 * 55 + 2.10 * 10) = 119.75	inflation occurred
March	2.19	1.05	1.85	(2.19 * 20 + 1.05 * 55 + 1.85 * 10) = 120.05	inflation occurred
April	2.34	1.15	1.90	(2.34 * 20 + 1.15 * 55 + 1.90 * 10) = 129.05	inflation occurred

If they have to buy the same quantity of January in April, (109.65 – 129.05) her family would have to spend $19.4 more.
