After playing with prices for awhile Helen has determined that the weekly demand can be found by using this equation: D=600-40P \n" ); document.write( "where d is cans and p is price per can. Will Helen sell more or less Propac if she raises the price? What happens to her sales every time she raises her price by $1?\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "The slope of the equation is -40 \n" ); document.write( "That means the number of cans sold decreases by 40 for every \n" ); document.write( "increase of one dollar in the price. \n" ); document.write( "Try p=0 and then p=1 and see how D changes by -40. \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
