Will Helen sell more or less Muscle Punch if she raises her price from $5.00? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "If she increases the price, she will increase the value of 40P which is subtracted, so she will sell less with an increase in price. \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "B. What happens to her sales every time she raises her price by $1.00? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Because of the \"-40*P\" in the equation she will reduce sales by 40 for each $1 increase in price: \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Try it: \n" ); document.write( "600 - 40(5) = 400; the original price of 5$ \n" ); document.write( "600 - 40(6) = 360; the price raised to $6 \n" ); document.write( " |
