Answer:
P = 70 cents per muffin
Step-by-step explanation:
It says to find the price when the supply and demand are equal, so you have to set the two equations equal to each other.
7700/p = 3p-100.
It seems to me that the best way to solve this would be to set up a quadratic equation.
If you multiply both sides by p and then subtract 7700, you get the following:
0=3p^2 -100p -7700
I wrote a program to solve this, and I got the answers p= 70 and -36.67.
Obviously, a negative number doesn’t work in this situation, so the answer is 70 cents per muffin. To check this, you can plug it back into the equation:
7700/70=3(70)-100
110=110
As you can see, the first number line is divided into tenths (0.1, 0.2, 0.3). So, put 8.152 in between 8.1 and 8.2.
Then, the ends of the next number line should be 8.1 at the start, and 8.2 at the end. You keep going smaller to find the exact spot. So, move 5 places inwards and place the 8.153, between 8.15 and 8.16.
Afterwards, the ends of the last number line should be 8.15 and 8.16. Now, it is divided into thousandths. So, find the third spot. Now, it should be 8.153 correctly labeled.
