p0q0 | p1q0 |
| A | 6 | 5.75 | 6.00 | 34.50 | 36.00 |
| B | 6 | 5.00 | 8.00 | 30.00 | 48.00 |

| E | 4 | 2.00 | 1.50 | 8.00 | 6.00 |
| F | 1 | 20.00 | 15.00 | 20.00 | 15.00 |
| Total | 146.50 | 174.00 | |||
Consumer price index = `(sum"p"_0"q"_1)/(sum"p"_0"q"_0) xx 100`
= `174.00/146.50 xx 100`
= 118.77
