The economic problem is Scarcity. This means that humans have
Unlimited Wants relative to Limited Means (time, money and
skill). So they must make a Choice on how to allocate their
Limited Means. Each choice results in a Opportunity Cost. This
means the next best option foregone.

Luxury, Normal
Income after Tax
As price increases, quantity demanded decreases, price decreases
quantity demanded increases. Ceteris Paribus.
Consumers are motivated to try and get the best value. When the
price is low it is more affordable so Quantity Demanded will
increase where if the price is higher it is more expensive so
Consumers will decrease their quantity demanded.
