    The computation is shown below:

    Relative price of a carton of juice = Cost of carton of juice : Cost of can of soda

    = $1.75 : $1.25

    = 1.4

    And, the relative price of a carton of juice if the absolute price of a carton of juice is unchanged

    Relative price of a carton of juice = Cost of carton of juice : Cost of can of soda

    = $1.75 : $1.50

    = 1.167

    Therefore, the relative price is decreased
