Answer:

1.67 units of good Y

0.6 units of good X

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative price measures the price of a good in relation to another good. It is also known as the real price of a good.

The relative price of good X = $50 / $30 = 1.67

The relative price of good Y = $30 / $50 = 0.6

I hope my answer helps you
