Question Molly must drive across a bridge over a river eight times each week. Because the
bridge is narrow and traffic is congested, Molly's willingness to pay for the eighth
and final weekly trip is $0.50. Now the governor has promised to refurbish this old

Molly will have to pay extra taxes to finance the repair, but the toll (price) for
crossing the bridge will fall, and she expects to make ten trips instead of just eight.
How would you figure out how much Molly is willing to pay in taxes for the bridge
repair?
