Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the price and quantity
The problem states that the price of a latte is $2. We need to find the quantity of lattes demanded at this price from the graph.
Step 2: Locate the quantity on the graph
From the graph, at a price of $2, the quantity demanded is 50 lattes per hour.
Step 3: Calculate the total expenditure
Total expenditure is calculated by multiplying the price per latte by the quantity demanded.
\[ \text{Total Expenditure} = \text{Price} \times \text{Quantity} \]
\[ \text{Total Expenditure} = 2 \times 50 = 100 \]
Final Answer
The total expenditure on lattes each hour at a price of $2 is $100.
