Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the relative price of a bus ticket in terms of movie tickets, we need to calculate how many movie tickets can be purchased with the cost of one bus ticket. 
One bus ticket costs $4 and the price of a movie ticket is $12, so we can buy 1/3 of a movie ticket with the cost of one bus ticket. Therefore, the relative price of a bus ticket in terms of movie tickets is 1/3 of a movie ticket.
