How are prices determined in a market
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

Demand and supply

Explanation:

In a market, the demand for a product and the supply of the products affect the price of them.

If a product has limited supply, the price will rise because it is rarer.

If a product has a lot of supply, the price will decrease because it is common.

If product demand is high, prices will rise because sellers want to earn more money.

If product demand is low, prices will sink because sellers need to make some sort of revenue and if the product doesn't sell, they've lost money. If they sell it at a lower price, at least they make some money back.

Of course, there are more factors but demand and supply are the main two, especially in a free market economy.

Native plants are kept in check by the surrounding community of plants and animals, so the native plants _____ become invasive.
Lorico [155]
We need to complete the sentence by filling up the blank space and we are given with two choices, either we choose "won't" or "wo'nt". This problem is a matter of English knowledge and we know that there is no such word as wo'nt so we will not choose this. Therefore, the correct answer is the option "won't" which can be also written as will not, it just the same won't and will not. To complete the sentence, we have it below:
Native plants are kept in check by surrounding community of plants and animals, so the native plants won't be invasive.
