The price index is 133.33

Given,

The purchasing power of money in the year 2016 with respect to the base year 2015 = 0.75

To Find,

The price index number for the year 2016 =?

Solution,

From the formula of the price index, we know that,

Price index = 100 / Purchasing power

Putting the value of purchasing power, we get

Price index = 100 / 0.75

Price index = 10000/75

Price index = 133.33

Hence, the price index number for the year 2016 is 133.33.
