Suppose that Pete enjoys painting purple people. He has very particular preferences and must have exactly 3 gallons of blue paint for each 2 gallons of red paint. Let R be the number of gallons of red paint and B be the number of gallons of blue paint. Also, let PR be the price of red paint. Suppose Pete has $15 to spend on paint. Also, the price of blue paint is PB=$2 per gallon.
Graph Pete's demand curve for red paint using the prices PR=$1, PR = $2, and PR =$3. Be sure to label your graph carefully and accurately.
Preferences presented here are min preferences where blue paint and red paint are perfect complements that are always used in a fixed proportion.
