Expert Solution
Step 1

When price of ice cream cone is $5.00

Price of candy is $2.5

Then the optimum consumption will occur at point where quantity demanded is:-

2 cones of ice-cream and 2 units of candy.

When price of candy decreases from $2.5 to $1.25, quantity of candy demanded will increase from 2 units to 4 units.
