    Answer: The price of peanuts realitve to that of raisins must be 2.

    Explanation: Mathematically, relative prices are defined as:

    Relative price of Good A with respect to Good B = Price of A / Price of B

    So: Relative price of peanuts respect to raisins = Price of peanuts / Price of raisins

    ...

    Relative price of peanuts respect to raisins = 4 / 2 = 2.
