-The figure above shows Sarah's budget line. Sarah earns $500 per week selling baskets. With this money she buys sushi and rose bushes. Each piece of sushi costs $1 and each rose bush costs $10. Sarah will be at what point on her budget line if she spends $200 per week on sushi?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Sarah spends $200 on sushi, she is spending $200 on items that cost $1 each, meaning she buys 200 pieces of sushi. Given that each rose bush costs $10, and she earns $500 a week, after spending $200 on sushi, she has $300 left to spend on rose bushes. $300/$10 = 30 rose bushes. The point on the budget line that corresponds to this combination of sushi and rose bushes is point C.
