Answer:
q= -40p+c
q= -40p+4,000
Step-by-step explanation:
$5 each for 3800 tye-dye shower curtains
$10 each for 3600 tye-dye shower curtains
Slope of the demand line is
3800-3600/5-10
=200/-5
= -40
Demand function is
q= -40p + c
Where c is a constant
For q=3800 and p=$5
Demand function is
q= -40p + c
3800= -40(5)+c
3800= -200+c
c=3800+200
c=4,000
Linear demand function is
q= -40p+4,000
You want to solve for x so add 18 from both sides of the equal sign. making it 3x=12. then divide both sides by 3 making x=4. x is 4.
The rate for the first is 1 job / 35 minutes and for the second is 1 job / 15 minutes. So combined we get
r = 1/35 + 1/15
3×5×7r = 3 + 7 = 10
r = 10/(105) jobs per minute
We're interested in 1/r
1/r = 105/10 = 10.5 minutes per job
Answer: 10.5 minutes
