3. [Sometimes, it's useful to think about what fraction of a consumer's money they spend on each good, rather on how many units they buy. (a) Show that every x EX(p,m) can be written as x = f1(m/p₁,0) + f2(0, m/p2 ) + (1-f1-f2)(0,0) for some numbers f1,f2 20 with f1 + f2 ≤1. (b) Let f1 and f2 be as in part (a). Give an expression, in terms of f1 and f2, for the fraction pix₁/m of the consumer's money that they spend on good 1. (c) Let f1 and f2 be as in part (a). Give an expression, in terms of f1 and f2, for the fraction p2x2/m of the consumer's money that they spend on good 2
