Problema Solution

If the supply and demand equations for computers are D = 100−6p and S = 28+3p where p is the price of computers, what is the quantity of computers bought and sold at equilibrium.

Answer provided by our tutors

Equilibrium is defined to be the price-quantity pair where the quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied that is


D = S


100 - 6p = 28 + 3p


100 - 28 = 3p + 6p


9p = 72


p = 8 is the price of each computer


the quantity of computers is 100 - 6*8 = 100 - 48 = 52 computers.
