Answer 1

Steak is a normal good, and hamburger is an inferior good for Jennie

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on this behavior, we can assume steak is a normal good, and hamburger is an inferior good for Jennie. That is because a normal good is any good who's demand increases when there is a rise in the consumers' income, while an inferior good sees decreased demand due to a rise in income. Therefore, since Jenna buys more (increased demand) steak and less (decreased demand) hamburger due to her increased income this means that steak is a normal good, and hamburger is an inferior good for Jennie
