A good description of "inflation" is an increase in prices and a fall in the value of money. Inflation is usually represented as a percentage increase for one month over the same month the previous year. Double-digit inflation is when this percentage is greater than 10%. If inflation rises even more than 100% (i.e. prices are twice s high as last year) it is usually called "hyper-inflation".

What is walking inflation?

Walking inflation: When the price rise is moderate (is in the range of 3 to 7 %) and the annual inflation rate is of a single digit, it is called walking inflation. It is a warning signal for the government to control it before it turns into running inflation.


What are the Definitions of galloping inflation?

Galloping Inflation When the movement of price accelerates rapidly, running inflation emerges. Running inflation may record more than 100 per cent rise in prices over a decade. Thus, when prices rise by more than 10 per cent a year, running inflation occurs. Economists have not described the range of running inflation. But, we may saythat a double digit inflation of 10-20 per cent per annum is a running inflation. If it exceeds that figure, it may be called 'galloping' inflation. According to Samuelson, when prices are rising at double or triple digit rates of 20, 100 or 200 per cent a year, the situation is described as 'galloping' inflation. Indian economy has witnessed a sort of 'running' and 'galloping' inflation to some extent (not exceeding 25 per cent per annum) during the planning era, since the Second Plan period. Argentina, Brazil and Israel, for instance, have experienced inflation rates over 100 per cent in the eighties. Galloping inflation is really a serious problem. It causes economic distortions and disturbances. Submitted by: Sanchit Suneja SSCBS


What is moderate inflation?

Mild inflation is a slow rise in price level of no more than 5 percent per annum. It is associated with a low level of unemployment and is during the upswing phase of a trade cycle. Such creeping inflation has beneficial effects on an economy. It is a sign of a buoyant economy or an expanding economy, implying the generation of jobs, output and growth.

What was inflation back in the 1900s?

Inflation was the same thing back then as it is now. Inflation rates were and are different in different countries, so the amount of inflation in each country is always different, depending on the solidity of the local currency. In Britain the inflation rate in 1900 was 4.5%. In the USA it was 16.9% but then fell to -2.4 the next year. Inflation rates in the US changed greatly from year to year and were often double-digit (but sometimes that was double-digit deflation)

How can you tell before you divide if the quotient will have two or three digits?

Mental math like if 12 into 72 it will not be a double digit if you divide 100 by 10 it will be double digits. Most times if you have a tripple digit number and divide it by double digit the answer will be a double digit.

What if your tens digit is 3 more than 5 my tens digit is double the number of my ones digit what number am i?

3 more than 5 is 8, so the tens digit is 8. The tens digit is,double the number of the ones digit, so divide 8 by 2 and you get 4. If you double 4 it is 8 so, the number is 84.
