Albertson's found that the demand for Coke products varies inversely as the price of the product. When the price of a Coke product is $2.75, the weekly demand is 1250. Find the weekly demand if the price is raised to $4.00.

Given :

Demand, D ∝ 1/Price

So, D = k/P

Where, k = constant

K = D × P

= 1250 × 2.75

= $3437.5

Now, Demand when Price is $4

Demand, D = 3437.5/4

= 859

 

Hence, weekly Demand when Price is raised to $4 is  859
