Zoë's Consumer Choice Problem with a Fixed Budget

Derivation and Formulation of the Budget Constraint Equation

A consumer has a fixed weekly budget of $80 to spend entirely on two goods: pizza slices, which cost $4 each, and sodas, which cost $2 each. If the price of a pizza slice decreases to $2.50, while the consumer's budget and the price of a soda remain unchanged, how does this affect the set of all possible combinations of pizza slices and sodas the consumer can afford?
