    She consumes 41 units of good X.

    Explanation:

    Utility Maximization:

    The maximum utility that a consumer derives from the use of a specified amount of a good or service.

    Consumer M aximise the utility when following condition is satisfied.

    MUx / MUy = Px / Py

    Y / X = 5 / 4

    4Y = 5X

    According to given sitation the budget constraint is

    Px (X) + Py (Y) = M

    5X + 4Y = 410

    Using 4Y = 5X

    thus, 5X + 4Y = 410

    5X + 5X = 410

    10X = $410

    X = 41.
