Zoë's Consumer Choice Problem with a Fixed Budget

Derivation and Formulation of the Budget Constraint Equation

If the price of a pizza slice decreases to $2.50, while the consumer's budget and the price of a soda remain unchanged, how does this affect the set of all possible combinations of pizza slices and sodas the consumer can afford?
