(Dollars per cone) (Cones) (Cones)
1 8 14
2 5 10
3 3 6
4 1 3
5 0 1

On the following graph, plot Dmitri’s demand for ice cream cones using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot Frances’s demand for ice cream cones using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot the market demand for ice cream cones using the blue points (circle symbol). Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right.
