A student has a fixed monthly budget of $200 to spend on two items: textbooks and bus rides. Initially, textbooks cost $50 each and bus rides cost $2 each. If the price of a single textbook increases to $80, while the student's budget and the cost of a bus ride remain unchanged, how is the student's purchasing power affected? Assume textbooks are on the vertical axis and bus rides are on the horizontal axis.

A student has a weekly budget of $100 to spend on two goods: coffee and sandwiches. Coffee costs $4 per cup and sandwiches cost $10 each.

'Following the price increase, the student can still purchase the same maximum number of sandwiches as before, but the maximum number of coffees they can buy has decreased.'
A student has a weekly budget of $60 to spend on two goods: digital movie rentals and sandwiches. The price of a sandwich is fixed at $10. Initially, the price of a movie rental is $4.
