Question 1196381: Suppose in the market for banana. When the price is $5, the quantity demanded for banana is 5, and the quantity supplied is 19. What's the amount of surplus in the market?

Answer: 14 bananas

Reason:
Surplus = (quantity supplied) - (quantity demanded)
Surplus = (19) - (5)
Surplus = 14
A positive surplus means there are 14 extra bananas that aren't purchased.
A negative surplus would mean there's a shortage.
