Question 175893: Demand equation. Helen’s Health Foods usually sells
400 cans of ProPac Muscle Punch per week when the price
is $5 per can. After experimenting with prices for some
time, Helen has determined that the weekly demand can
be found by using the equation
d = 600 - 40p,
where d is the number of cans and p is the price per can.
a) Will Helen sell more or less Muscle Punch if she raises
her price from $5?
b) What happens to her sales every time she raises her
price by $1?
c) Graph the equation.
d) What is the maximum price that she can charge and
still sell at least one can?

time, Helen has determined that the weekly demand can
be found by using the equation
d = 600 - 40p,
where d is the number of cans and p is the price per can.
:
a) Will Helen sell more or less Muscle Punch if she raises
her price from $5?
Less, 40p is subtracted from 600
:
b) What happens to her sales every time she raises her
price by $1?
She sells 40 less cans
:
c) Graph the equation.
graph y = 600 - 40x
:
d) What is the maximum price that she can charge and
still sell at least one can?
Find p when d = 1
600 - 40p = 1
-40p = 1 -600
p =
p = +14.975
We can say that if she sells it for $14.97, she will still sell at least one can
Check this: d = 600 - 40(14.97)
d = 600 - 598.8
d ~ 1 can
