Sandy receives utility from consuming berries (X) and nuts (Y) as given by utility function u(X,Y) = XY. The price of berries is $9 per box and the price of nuts is $8 per pack. She spends her entire income to buy 17 boxes of berries and 62 packs of nuts. Therefore, compared to her optimal bundle, she is currently consuming (too many/not enough/just the right amount of) berries.
