Assuming the decrease was straight line, which is most likely incorrect, the average inflation rate over the past 20 years would be 19.47%.

* HDR chica's asking price increased from $10 por uno hora to $100 por uno hora. (had to slip that one in there) !

Leaving out the fact that the HDR did not exist 20 years ago the question is was a working girl overpaid at $10.00 in 1986 or underpaid at $100.00 in 2006
