The consumption equation is: C = Ca + c*(Y - T), where C - consumption, c - marginal propensity to consume, Ca - autonomous consumption, Y - income, T - tax. c = C/Y C = Ca + 5/25*(25 - 5) = Ca + 0.2*(Y - 5) = Ca - 1 + 0.2Y

Dear visitor, consumption function defined as C = a + b(Y – T),
where "a" is an autonomous consumption and "b" is the marginal
propensity to consume. Savings function with respect to disposable
income is S = -a + (1 – b) (Y – T).

maybe Y= I-C-T y=25-5-15 Y=5
