Question

Assume that a consumer has a given budget or income of $12 and that she can buy only two goods, apples or bananas. The price of an apple is $1.50 and the price of a banana is $0.75. If the consumer decides to buy 4 apples, how many bananas can she also buy with the remainder of her budget?

Answer 1

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum amount she can spend is $12. If she buys 4 apples, it would cost her : 4 x $1.50 = $6. She would have $12 - $6 = $6 to spend on bananas.

If the price of bananas are $0.75, she can buy a total of $6 / $0.75 = 8 bananas
