The optimal amount of Pizza that John would be able to buy is 5.  

<h3>How to solve for the optimum</h3>

1. We can see that he has zero as his 6th consumption based on marginal Utility. This shows that he can consume 5 pieces of Pizza.

2. If he should purchase 8 slices, total utility is calculated as

20 + 12 + 10 + 6 + 2 + 0- 2 - 6

= 42

3. This is added as an attachment

4. Total amount that John can spend = $ 20. Given that he cannot make use of his savings, the total amount that he can consume would be what is less than 3 slices and 4 funnel cake.

5. The total utility that John is going to gain would be calculated as

Total utility = 20+12+50+40+32+20 = 32 + 142 = 174

This puts the total utility at 174

Because "they hope to stimulate more business for downtown restaurants, bars, and hotels".

A central business district (CBD) is the business and commercial focal point of a city. In bigger urban communities, it is frequently synonymous with the city's "monetary area". Topographically, it regularly agrees with the "downtown area" or "downtown", yet the two ideas are partitioned: numerous urban areas have a focal business locale found far from its business or social downtown area or downtown.

Answer:Primacy effect

Explanation:

Primacy effect can be described as our part of the memory that makes it easier for us to easily encode only the names at the top of the listed items, like number one and two items will be easier to remember than number 4 to 10 on the list.

The most common reasons is that these are the items that we read first on the list so we have plenty of time to recall them .

It is very likely that we will keep memorising the first items and reserve them in our short term memory which may result into us transferring them into a long term memory.

The other reason is how difficult that information is that we are trying to recall or how crucial that piece information is to you .

You are most likely to recall the information that is vital to you than that which is not vital to you, the information that is vital to you is mostly restored to your long term memory.

In conclusion primacy effect refers to how effective it is for us to remember certain list of items based on the time we had to memorise it.

The more time we have to memorise the list the higher it is to remember it.
