Hernan - it's in the workbook I'm using right now........ One from the "Practice Makes Perfect" series.
Depends on where you look.

Here are more example for you.

Put a price to your life = ponle precio a tu vida

What would be the cost/price of your life - Cúal sería el costo/coste/precio de tu vida.

Cost of living (index) = (Indice del) Costo de la vida
