Given information:

It is given that the money price of a carton of milk is $2.01 and a gallon of gasoline is $3.63.

The relative price is the ratio of the price of a commodity expressed in terms of another commodity. The relative price of gallon in terms of milk can be calculated using the equation (1).

Relative price of gasoline=Money price of gasoline Money price of milk (1)

Substitute the respective values in equation (1), the relative price of gasoline in terms of milk.

Relative price of gasoline=3.63 2.01=1.81

Thus, the relative price of gasoline in terms of milk is $1.81.
