In a certain kingdom, the demand function for rye bread was q = 381 − 3p and the supply function was q = 5 + 7p, where p is the

price in zlotys and q is loaves of bread. The king made it illegal to sell rye bread for a price above 32 zlotys per loaf. To avoid shortages, he agreed to pay bakers enough of a subsidy for each loaf of bread so as to make supply equal demand. How much would the subsidy per loaf have to be?
