Question 291508: . You sell premium toasters and are making a pricing decision. At a price of $100 (or �p = $100�) you predict that you can sell 30 of these premium toasters at your Scottsdale, Arizona location. If the price is raised to $110 you predict that you can sell 25 of these premium toasters at your Scottsdale, Arizona location.
