Answer:

650 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The consumer's bundle of goods includes 2 units of good 1 and 1 unit of good 2, for a total cost of $2 + $4 = $6.

If the consumer's budget is $3,900, then he/she will be able to purchase $3,900 / $6 = 650 bundles. That means that he/she will be able to purchase 650 units of good 2.
