3 120 3 175 3 60
4 140 4 205 4 70
5 155 5 225 5 77
i. If the price of A is $2, the price of B is $3, and the price of C is $ 1, how much of each does James Walker purchase in equilibrium?
ii. If the price of A rises to $ 4 while other prices and James Walker budget remain constant, how much of each does he purchase in equilibrium?
