The optimal quantity of good X (X*): MUx = Px
The optimal quantity of good Y (Y*): Muy = Py

𝑃𝑦 3 1
<=> 3X - Y = 0 (1)
We have: 3X+Y=60 (2)
From (1) and (2) => X = 10 and Y = 30
Problem 2:

-Lan’s budget line equation:
20,000X + 5000Y = 1,000,000

=> 4.(X-2) =Y
=> 4X-8 =Y (1)
And we have: 20000X+ 5000Y=1000000 (2)
From (1) and (2) => X=26 kg and Y=96 kg
Lan needs to buy 26kg of meat and 96kg of potato to maximize her total utility.
