Answer:

the difference between the price of a product and what consumers were willing to pay for the product.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the product.

For example, the highest amount I am willing to pay for a book is $20. The price of the book is $10. My consumer surplus is $20 - $10 = $10

Producer surplus is the difference between the least amount the seller is willing to sell his product and the price of the product.

I hope my answer helps you
