    Mark's individual consumer surplus is $10.

    Explanation:

    Mark and Rasheed are at the bookstore buying new calculators for the semester.

    Mark is willing to pay $75 and Rasheed is willing to pay $100 for a graphing calculator.

    The price for a calculator at the bookstore is $65.

    The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price that a consumer is willing to pay and the price he actually has to pay.

    Mark's individual consumer surplus

    = Price mark was willing to pay - Price he actually has to pay

    = $75 - $65

    = $10
