danaisha does all her grocery shopping at organic markets and has a monthly grocery bill of $325. charles says that danaisha is wasting her money on wants instead of focusing on needs. he buys in bulk, uses coupons, and shops at save - more for a monthly bill of $195. whos budgeting correctly for food?
○ a danaisha, because she is focusing on her health, which will have a guaranteed payoff in the long run
○ b charles, because hes taking efforts to save money by focusing on his needs only
○ c both, because needs vs wants are determined on an individual basis
○ d neither, because they should meet in the middle somewhere. charles should focus more on health, and danaisha should cut her spending.

Explanation:

Budgeting for food can vary based on individual priorities. Danaisha may prioritize organic (which could relate to her perception of health - a personal need/want). Charles focuses on cost - saving (his need). Since needs and wants are subjective (e.g., for some organic food is a need for health, for others basic food at low cost is the need), it's determined on an individual basis.

Answer:

C. Both, because needs vs wants are determined on an individual basis.
