9. Suppose a worker's income was $15,000 in 1960 and $45,000 in 2010. Using the GDP deflator as a price index, calculate whether the worker's real income had increased or decreased over this period.
"GDP\\ deflector=\\frac{Real\\ GDP}{Nominal\\ GDP}"
"=\\frac{\\$45000}{\\$15000}\\times100=300"
The worker's real income increased by 300%
