    We can use the compound (interest) formula: A = P x (1 + r/100) ^n

    Where A is our final cost, P is our original price in 2005 = $110, r is our inflation rate = 4.6, and n is our number of years from 2005 to 2008 = 3.

    Apply this to the formula: A = 110 x (1 + 4.6/100) ^3 = $125.8889 = $126.

    The cart of groceries cost a total of $126 in 2008.
