Question: Emily likes pretzels and Pepsi. She bought 10 bottles of Pepsi for $2 each. Her marginal utility for the tenth bottle was 12 utils. She also bought 7 bags of pretzels for $4 per bag.

Would she have been better off buying more Pepsi and fewer pretzels, more pretzels and less Pepsi, or was her purchase already optimal? Are pretzels and Pepsi complements or substitutes to Emily?
