2009 is the base year so the GDP Deflator is 100. Nominal GDP was $5x90 + $50x15 = $1,200. Real GDP was $5x90 + $50x15 = $1,200. The GDP Deflator = 100 x Nominal GDP/Real GDP = 100. For 2010 Nominal GDP was $5x100 + $60x15 = $1,400. Real GDP was $5x100 + $50x15 = $1,250. The GDP deflator = 100 x nominal GDP/real GDP = 100 x $1,400/$1,250 = 112. The inflation rate for 2010 = (2010 GDP Deflator - 2009 GDP Deflator)/2009 GDP Deflator = (112 - 100)/100 = 12/100 = 12%
