Inflation Problems 57-62 require the following discussion. Inflation is a term used to describe the erosion of the purchasing power of money. For example, if the annual inflation rate is $3 \%$, then $\$ 1000$ worth of purchasing power now will have only $\$ 970$ worth of purchasing power in 1 year because $3 \%$ of the original $\$ 1000(0.03 \times 1000=30)$ has been eroded due to inflation. In general, if the rate of inflation averages $r$ per annum over $n$ years, the amount $A$ that $\$ P$ will purchase after $n$ years is$A=P \cdot(1-r)^{n}$ where $r$ is expressed as a decimal.
