Problema Solution

Suppose you have a cookie stand, and when you charge $3 per cookie box you sell 200 boxes. But when you raise your price to $4 you only sell 120 boxes.

a. Write an equation for the number of boxes you sell as a function of the price you charge.

b. Denote "B" for number of boxes, and "P" for the price you charge.

c. Assume the function is linear..

Answer provided by our tutors

(a) The number sold: B

The price charge: P

The equation is linear and passes (3, 200) and (4, 120)

So the equation is P = -80B + 440
