Note: Remember to plot each point between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the marginal revenue
product of labour for the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway between 0 and 1. Line segments will
automatically connect the points.

Suppose that the market wage for strawberry pickers is $200 per worker per day, and the price of strawberries is $15 per kilogram.
On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Live Happley's labour demand curve when the output price is $15 per kilogram.
