​(a) When the price of candy is ​$3.50 per​ bag, the theater sells 128 bags of candy. Express the demand for candy in terms of its price. ​
(b) Determine the number of bags of candy that will be sold if the price is raised to ​$4.00 a bag.

D=k/p
128=k/3.5
k=448
now use k with the price to get demand.
D=448/4=112 bags.
