a company has found that the daily demand for its product varies inversely as the price of the product.
d = k/p
---
Find "k":
when the price is $24, the demand is 1,000 units.
1000 = k/24
k = 24000
------------
So the relation is d = 24000/p
-----------------------------------
what is the demand if the price is increased to $30?
d = 24000/30
d = 800
