    Answer: a. increase, b. decrease, c. increase

    Explanation:

    a. When the budget increases from $100 to $150 more books and movies tickets can be purchased at the current prices. attainable combinations would definitely increase.

    b. When the price of movie tickets rises to $20, attainable combinations will decrease because less movie tickets will be attainable at the current budget of $100, previously we used to get 2 movie tickets for $20 now we get 1 movie ticket for $20, with a Budget of $100 and price of books remaining at $25 the combination sets attainable will decrease

    c. when the price of a book falls from $25 to $15 attainable combinations will increase. When the price for a book falls to $15 per books, there is an extra $10 dollar ($25 - $15) available that can be used to buy more ticket movies or contributes towards attaining more books. When the price of books falls to $15, other factors remaining equal, attainable combinations sets will increase

    Option A Increase

    Option B Decrease

    Option C Increase

    Explanation:

    If the price of the item increase then the affordability decreases and if the price of the item decreases then the affordability increases.

    In the option A the affordability has increased because of increase in purchasing power which means now I can afford movies and books upto $150 so the affordability has increased by $50.

    In the option B, the affordability decreased because the price of the item has increased.

    In the option C, the affordability increases as the price of items are decreased. Now I can buy more books or movie tickets due to increased savings.
