@Kevin @Will.H @retirEEd

OpenStudy (kevin):

economic law said, if the price increase then the quantity of demand would be decrease

OpenStudy (kevin):

I hope you got an idea :)

OpenStudy (will.h):

This kind of questions have a diagram normally. is there any?

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

no.. and I think it is C but not sure

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

Im pretty sure its C..

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

Decrease; demand for shampoo.

OpenStudy (kevin):

that's right

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

yeah pretty sure ur correct @madhu.mukherjee.946

OpenStudy (iwanttogotostanford):

ok thank you!! I just needed some confirmation.. thanks guys!!

OpenStudy (kevin):

yw :D

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

@OtherWorldly thanks

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

but it can be also option A as shampoo and conditioners are complementary goods and we know complemetary goods are inversely related

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

the sentence is " if the price of shampoo...."

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

yeah so

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

there is no answer where both shampoo and conditioner are in it so pick the most likely answer

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

its similar like car and petrol

OpenStudy (will.h):

am not totally convinced tho Normally when their is a higher demand on a specific item the price would increase too In Kevin's case it would be right about the rare items such as Diamond and so on. but in case of Shampoo i do not think so

OpenStudy (madhu.mukherjee.946):

i think both options c and a are correct

OpenStudy (otherworldly):

^_^ the sentence is only talking about shampoo y r u thinking too much about things
