A 650 room hotel in Orlando is filled to capacity every night when the room price is 90 per night.
For every $5 dollar increase in price , 10 fewer rooms are filled.
Find a linear formula for the number of rooms demanded, N, as a function of price p.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We know that the formula is linear, and we know that the slope is this negative ratio
m = = -2,
which means that 2 rooms become vacant for each $1 increase in price.
Therefore, the formula for N(p) is N{p) = 650 - 2p. ANSWER
The formula really describes that 10 rooms become vacant as the price increase by $5.
