Assume the normal quantity of cookies is x.

The demanded quantity by the stores now:
0.5x
The previous cost is: $4 * 0.5x = $2x

The cost of demanded quantity by the stores now: $5 * 0.5x = $2.5x

The price elasticity of demand: $2.5x - $2x = $0.5x

Hope that helps you

4(4x+3)=19x+9-3x+3 what are the steps
TEA [102]
Ok so:

4(4x+3) = 19x + 9 - 3x +3
parenthesis first:
4 x 4x = 16x    then    4 x 3 = 12

16x + 12 = 19x + 9 - 3x + 3
combine :) :
19x - 3x = 16x   then    9 + 3 = 12

16x + 12 = 16x +12
       -12             -12
16x = 16x
They are the same equations lol they equal 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine:

How much would each person have to contribute to pay a 1.5 deficit if United States facing a budget deficit of 1.5 billion and 3.9 million population?

Fetching Information and Solution Steps:

  • United States facing a budget deficit of 1.5 billion
  • Population = 3.9 million

We have to determine how much would each person have to contribute to pay a 1.5 deficit.

Just dividing 1500 millions (1.5 billion) by 3.9 million as:

\frac{1500}{3.9} =384.6153

which is rounded to $385.

Therefore, each person would have to contribute to contribute $385 to pay a 1.5 deficit.
