Economists define normal goods as having a positive income elasticity. We can divide normal goods into two types: Those whose income elasticity is less than one and those whose income elasticity is greater than one. Think about products that would fall into each category. Can you come up with a name for each category?

The table shows Rita's total utility from burritos and hot dogs. When the price of a burrito is $4, Rita has $28 to spend, and the price of a hot dog falls from $4 to $2, how many burritos and hot dogs does Rita buy?
