Expert Solution
Step 1 Substitute Goods

Substitute goods are the goods that can be used in place of one another and provide the same level of satisfaction to the consumer. 

When the price of a good X increases, the demand of its substitute, i.e, Y increases and vice-versa. It is because with an increase in the price of X, good-Y becomes relatively cheaper, and since both X and Y provides the same level of satisfaction, consumers would tend to shift towards Y.
