    Inflation rates for Canada = 3.3%

    Inflation rates for Mexico = 9.1%

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    For Canada

    CPI in 2014 = 120

    CPI in 2015 = 124

    For Mexico

    CPI in 2014 = 210

    CPI in 2015 = 229.1

    Now,

    The inflation = [ (Current CPI - Base year CPI) : Base year CPI ] * 100%

    Therefore,

    For Canada

    Inflation = [ (124 - 120) : 120 ] * 100%

    = 3.3%

    For Mexico

    Inflation = [ (229.1 - 210) : 210 ] * 100%

    = 9.1%
