Mel needs your help in understanding the following problem. The price of lettuce has increased slightly from R4.00 to R5.00, causing a fall in the quantities demanded from 100 to 80 per month. However, she also noticed a decrease in the demand for tomatoes, from 150kg to 120kg, even though no price changes have occurred. Can you help her understand this behaviour by seeing if a relationship possibly exists between these two goods?
