Answer:

Option b. 151

Step-by-step explanation:

A raincoat costs $79.25 today. If a similar raincoat cost $52.48 in 1983 then we have to calculate the the CPI in 1983.

Since formula to calculate CPI will be

CPI = (Price of raincoat today/Price of raincoat in 1983)×100

CPI = 79.25×100/52.48 = 151

Therefore option b. CPI = 151 is the answer.
