Answer:

Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature "lunchbox" container from $3.00 to $4.00. As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000.

UNIT ELASTIC ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is unit elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally equal change in the quantity demanded.

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(15 - 20) / [(15 + 20)/2]} / {($4 - $3) / [($4 + $3)/2]} = -0.2857 / 0.2857 = -1 or |1| in absolute terms

Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5.

INELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is inelastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally lower change in the quantity demanded.

CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day.

ELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the demand for a good is elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally higher change in quantity demanded.

PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(61,000 - 70,000) / [(61,000 + 70,000)/2]} / {($2.21 - $2) / [($2.21 + $2)/2]} = -0.1374 / 0.1 = -1.374 or |1.374| in absolute terms

A+b-c =170 B+c-A= 130 <br>solve​
balu736 [363]

The correct answer is A = 110, B= 40, C=20..

<u>Explanation</u>

If A+B-C= 170 and B+C-A=130 ,  

=C+A = 130

or, C= 130- A

Again, A+B-C =170

or, A+B =170+C

A+B = 170+130-A ( c=130-A)

A+B = 300-A

2A+B = 300

A+B= 300/2

A+B = 150

A+B-C= 170

A+B = 170+C

150 = 170 +C ( A+B = 150)

or, C = 20..............................(1.)

A+C =130

or,A+ 20= 130 ( A=110).....................(2)

A+B = 150

110+B= 150

B = 150-110

B= 40..........................................(3)

Therefore, A = 110, B= 40, C=20..
