Ok, so if inflation is 3% year on year for 5 years, and a bar of chocolate is £1 at the start of year 1, it will be £1.03 at the start of year 2 - that's straightforward enough.

Then for year 3 that same bar will be 3% of £1.03 which is £0.0309, so that it now costs £1.0609.

However, what is the forumla used so that, if we have the rate of inflation year on year, for each year in a sequence, we can look at what a good cost in year 1, and work out what it would cost to buy that same good in real prices further down the line (or vice versa, work out how inflation has increased prices and work out what they would have cost some time in the past if we have the necessary inflation data).

WHat i want to know is, is there an accurate way to have an annualised inflation rate worked out for a set of years where we have the year on year inflation that will allow us to work out the compounded affect of inflation, either up or down the scale?

Cheers!

Thanks.

I am always tired it seems. I get sleep quantity wise; quality is okay I think. Going to school is hell, I am always resting, when i should be doing my homework. Then when i get home, to do the homework that could of been done in class, I don't do and I fall asleep. Going to work, or doing other fun things I can do, Just boring things I can't do. I am seeing a doctor tomorrow. But will this just be a waste of my money, cos it could possibly be something mental.

So my title is" Anything you "think" can and will be used against you"

I want to argue whether or not psychological oriented marketing manipulates people's buying decisions or a way to understand their thinking when they buy?

I am arguing that it is a manipulation

Where do I go from here or how would I start this paper?

What does it mean when someone is not good at everything, writing, math, science, nothing...

Does that mean they suck at life?

Why are some gifted and others are not talented?
Why does it take more to suceed while others try lless and they still suceed.

Why does a self thinker that thinks doesn't become smart as anyone hope them to be?

So far it seems that this is the Law of Personification. You sort of subject a personification from information that you receive from the media to create the celebrity that you think you "care for." But is there an actual psychological term that sums up the obsession for movie stars?

Being overweight and large-busted makes me even more self-conscious for some reason.
I feel as if I am unaware of the unspoken social rules of this environment as well.
