June's evaluation of packets of nacho chips in terms of $MU is as follows: 1st packet: $4; 2nd packet: $3.50; 3rd packet: $2.90; 4th packet: $2.30; 5th packet: $1.60. If the price of nacho chips is $1.50, and June buys 5 packets, calculate her marginal consumer surplus for each packet and the total consumer surplus form all 5.
