Question

If a large factory sells its new gadgets for $5 each, it can sell 1050 per month, and if it sells the same gadgets for $9, it will sell 900 per month. Assuming the relation between price and sales is linear, predict the monthly sales of gadgets to the nearest whole number if the price is $12.

Answer 2

CAN YOU SET UP THEIR LINEAR FUNCTIONS?

Answer 3

I think that the slope will be -75/2 because
\(\large \frac{900 - 1050}{9 - 5} = \frac{-150}{4} = \frac{-75}{2}\)

Answer 4

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Answer 5

Trying to find out the change in y over change in x

Answer 6

WHY?

Answer 7

Well can you tell me your way?

Answer 8

THAT'S WHY I ASKED IF YOU CAN SET UP THEIR INDIVIDUAL FUNCTIONS

Answer 9

I don't think I can.

Answer 10

YOU CAN FIND THE SLOPE, BUT YOU NEED TO HAVE A PLAN HOW THAT SLOPE WILL HELP YOU

Answer 11
