AI Thread Summary
Monet, a graduate student, spends his entire weekly salary of $10 on strawberries and ice for smoothies, requiring 10 strawberries and 5 ice cubes per smoothie. With strawberries priced at $0.5 each and ice cubes at $0.2, he can buy 20 strawberries and 50 ice cubes with his budget. To determine how many smoothies he can make, he needs to calculate the total number of strawberries and ice cubes he can purchase within his budget constraints. The economic intuition behind the indifference curve reflects his preference for balancing the quantities of strawberries and ice to maximize his smoothie enjoyment. Ultimately, Monet can make two smoothies with his available resources.
