Sally the Sleek’s preferences can be described by the utility function U(x, y) = x^2y^3/1000. Prices are px = 4 and py = 3; she has an income of $80 to spend. (a) If Sally initially consumed 5 units of x and 20 units of y, how much additional utility does she get from spending one (small fraction of a) dollar more on good x? How much additional utility does she get from spending one (small fraction of a) dollar...
