    To solve for the consumer surplus, the formula is;

    Consumer surplus = total value - actual value

    If jena is willing to pay for $75 then = $75 - $65 = $10

    If Jane on the other hand is willing to pay for $85 then = $85 - $65 = $20

    To combine the amount of Jena and Jane to be able to get both of their consumer surplus,

    = $10 + $20 = $30

    The combined amount of consumer surplus of Jena and Jane is $30.
