    A: q1=0 q2 = 10

    B: q1=4 q2=8

    C: q1=8 q2=6

    D: q1=12 q2=4

    E: q1=16 q2=2

    F: q1=20 q2=0

    Explanation:

    The budget constraint is $15. This is the amount of money to spend either all in candy bars or bags of peanuts or a combination of both.

    Each candy bar costs $0,75 and a bag of peanuts costs $1,5. The budget equation is:

    Y=0,75*q1+1,5*q2

    Y = budget constraint

    q1 = quantity of candy bars consume

    q2 = quantity of peanuts bag consume

    q1 = (Y/0,75) - / 1,5/0,75) * q2

    q2 = (Y/1,5) - (0,75/1,5) * q1

    The maximum amount of candy bars = 20 (q1=15/0,75)

    The maximum amount of peanuts bags = 10 (q2=15/1,5)

    A:

    q1=0 q2 = 10

    B:

    q1=4 q2=8 [q2 = (15/1,5) - (0,75/1,5) * 4]

    C:

    q1=8 q2=6 [q2 = (15/1,5) - (0,75/1,5) * 8]

    D:

    q1=12 q2=4

    E:

    q1=16 q2=2

    F:

    q1=20 q2=0
