Answer:

2 units of X and 5 units of Y

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Utility is maximized when (MUx / Price of X) = (MUy / Price of Y)  

This condition holds for the following cases

1.  X = 4 (MUx / Px = 8 / 4 = 2) and Y = 6 (MUy / Px = 4 / 2 = 2)

2.  X = 2 (MUx / Px = 16 / 4 = 4) and Y = 5 (MUy / Px = 8 / 2 = 4)

For the first case Total cost = 4 x $4 + 6 x $2 = $(16 + 12) = $28 (Budget is exceeded).

In the second scenario, Total cost = 2 x $4 + 5 x $2 = $(8 + 10) = $18 (budget is exhausted).

Optimal case contains  X = 2 units, Y = 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

he sold 36 so lets subtract  that from the 200 so he has to sell 164 more.

Answer: x=5.6 or 5 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross multiplication is when you have two fractions (ratios) that are equivalent and you can multiply the numerator of the first one by the denominator of the second one, and the denominator of the first one by the numerator of the first one. The answers to these two are equivalent.

So, 5x/8 = 7/2

10x=56

x=5.6

x= 5 3/5
