<p>The question is <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/NyYet.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/NyYet.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>

<p>I know how to calculate CPI in the sense without " a basket of 700 goods and services". How does adding this info change my calculation? I only know CPI= (the price of basket of goods in a year/ price of basket in a base year)X100. So in 2010, it will be ((2x5)/7)X100=100. </p>

<p>Thank you for your answer. I've just begun self-taught economics. </p>
