Answer:

1) $3

2) $1.2

Explanation:

1) First, we have to calculate the appropriate compensation for Kate, which is given by the increase in price of the drink for the number of drinks consumed by Kate:

ACK=0.30*10= $3

ACK=3

2) Now, the proper compensation for elisa (we calculate it the same way we do for Kate) is given by:

ACE=0.30*4= $1.2

ACE=1.2
