If prices gain, what loses?

Question

If prices gain, what loses?

Answer 1

when prices gain, the buying power of the money loses power.

so when toilet paper prices gain (increase) the 1 dollar that you have in your hand is less valuable - that is- is can't buy as much toilet paper as it use to => that means it has less buying power

Answer 2

When prices gain, the buyers lose because the value of money loses or purchasing power loses. Vaule of money (an unit of currency, say, a dollar) is the inverse or reciprocal of the level of prices. So when the prices go up, value falls.
