Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

To adjust the two prices, the ratio of the CPI in 2011 to the CPI in 1995 is needed. This ratio is (172.3)/(152.5 ) = 1.13. Then multiply the 1995 prices by this ratio to convert the prices to 2011 dollars. This yields a 2011 dollar price for the textbook of (70.00  1.13 ) = 79.10 and a 2011 dollar price for the CD of (16.00  1.13 ) = 18.08.
