    D. $37.11

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Price of grocery bag in 1970 = 8

    Price index in 1970 = 38.8

    Price index in 2006 = 180

    Thus,

    Price if grocery bag in 2006

    = price in 1970 * (Price index 2006 : price index 1970)

    = 8 * (180 : 38.8)

    = 8 * 4.639

    = 37.112

    = $37.11
