quantity of 0 bottles of water.

Quantity of Water
Suppose the price of a bottle of water is $5.
Use the black line (plus symbol) to draw a price line at $5. Next use the grey point (star symbol) to indicate how many bottles of water Jake will buy
at that price. Finally, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area that represents Jake's consumer surplus from his purchases.
In this case, Jake receives S
in consumer surplus from his water purchase.
If the price falls to $2, Jake now buys
bottles of water. This
his consumer surplus to S
