Kate has the utility function U(x, y) = 100*x -
\frac{x^2 }{2} + y where x is her consumption
of earplugs and y is money left over to spend
on other stuff. If she has $10,000 to spend on
earplugs and other stuff and if the price of
earplugs rises from $50 to $70, then her net

In this example, assume the price of music tracks (in pounds) increases from £0.6 to £1, as shown in the figure. Also, let Y
be Jackie's income, which is £30.
State Jackie's uncompensated demand function for music tracks given her initial budget
Jackie has a utility function
where is music tracks and is live music. Let py be the price of music tracks and let the price of live music be normalized to one
If income, Y, is 30, what is Jackie's uncompensated demand for music tracks, 9₁?
