- 6 magazines
b. If the price of a pie is $12, what is the maximum number of pies she could buy in a week?

c. What is Marie's opportunity cost of purchasing a pie?
- 3 magazines
Explanation:
Marie's weekly budget = $24
each magazine costs $4, total amount of magazines that can be purchased per week = $24 / $4 = 6 magazines
each pie costs $12, total amount of pies that can be purchased per week = $24 / $12 = 2 pies
Marie's opportunity cost of purchasing one pie = $12 / $4 = 3 magazines
