    In economics, the marginal propensity to consume, or abbreviated as MPC, is the ratio of the change of consumption to the change of income. In other words, the MPC is the slope of a consumption vs. income plot graph. Analytically, its equation is

    MPC = ΔC/ΔI

    MPC = ($767-$758) / ($927-$912)

    MPC = 0.6 or 60%
