Inflation explained with a chocolate bar, sentence 10

A knock-on effect is when one change causes others: if lorry fuel goes up 20p a litre, a 100-litre trip costs 100 × 20p = £20 more, so food in the shops costs more.

Who acts: one change, lorry fuel, litre trip, food · What happens: be, cause, go up, cost · To what, where: knock effect, others, 20 p, 100 p, more
