Suppose a consumer purchases food X and clothing Y. The utility function of the consumer is given by: U(X,Y ) = XY + 5Y and the budget /income/ of the consumer is 200 ETB. And also the price of food is X P and the price of clothing is Y P . Then drive the equation of consumer’s demand function for food and clothing.
