Charlie the cat stole $20 from his cat mom. He's planning on spending the money he stole on catnip (Q1) and dental treats (Q2). Dental treats are more expensive at $3 per treat, but catnip is pretty cheap at $0.50 per pouch. What will Charlie's budget constraint look like?

$ 20= Q1 (0.5 ) + Q3( 3)

Explanation:

Total Amount = $ 20

Dental treats Q2= $ 3

Catnip Q1= $ 0.50

Maximum no of Dental Treats he can get is = $ 20 /$3= 6.66

If he gets maximum dental treats i.e 6 , $18 will be spent (3*6)

He will be left with = $ 20- $ 18= $ 2

The maximum no of catnip he can get after buying 6 dental treats from $ 2= $ 2/$0.5= 4

Let Q1 denote the catnip and Q3 denote the dental treats then the equation would be like

$ 20= Q1 (0.5 ) + Q3( 3)

So putting the values for q1=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

for values 0-4  Q3 will be $ 18

for values 4-6 Q3 will be $ 15

for values 6-8  Q3 will be $ 12

From values Zero on wards the budget constraint will be a slope but after value 4 the change will be after every two points.

The slope will look like the one given in the diagram.

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.

hope this

c is the correct answer.
