An individual's demand for a product can be visualized as a straight line on a graph where the vertical axis is price and the horizontal axis is quantity. Their maximum willingness to pay is $20 (for the first unit), and their willingness to pay drops to $0 at a quantity of 10 units. If the market price for the product is a flat $8 per unit, what is the total consumer surplus for this individual if they purchase all units for which their willingness to pay is greater than or equal to the price?
