Your Turn 2(a)Suppose that Greg Tobin, manager of a giant supermarket

chain, has studied the supply and demand for watermelons. He

has noticed that the demand increases as the price decreases.

He has determined that the quantity (in thousands) demanded

weekly, q, and the price (in dollars) per watermelon, p, are

related by the linear function

(a) Find the quantity of watermelons demanded at a price of $3.30 per watermelon.

Your Turn 2(b)

Greg also noticed that the quantity of watermelons supplied

decreased as the price decreased. Price p and supply q are

related by the linear function

(b) Find the quantity of watermelons supplied at a price of $3.30 per watermelon.

Your Turn 3

Find the equilibrium quantity and price for the watermelons

using the demand equation and the supply equation.

The marginal cost to make x batches of a prescription

medication is $15 per batch, while the cost to produce 80

batches is $1930. Find the cost function C(x), given that it is linear.
