Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

If his MRS of pencils for pens is 3, this means that, instead of buying 3 pens, he could have built just 1 pencil, which is much cheaper apparently (3 pens cost 150 cents, and one pencil just 10). Thus, he can increase his utility by buying more pencils and less pens. Option C is the correct one.

The first sentence is irrelevant information, you can ignore that!

There are 20 players. Each player paid the <em>same amount. </em>

In total, they payed $500,000.

We need x, the amount a single player pays. x times 20 will give us 500,000. This gives us the equation 20x=500,000

Divide both sides by 20 to isolate the variable.

x=25,000
