Answer any one question.
The question carries 11 marks.
20. Assume that the demand of an item A increases as the price decreases. If the weekly demand for
9
A is q (in dollar $) and the price is p then suppose that they are related by the linear relation
D (p) = 9 – 0.75q.
(a) Find the quantity demanded at a price of $ 5.25 per item and at a price of $ 3.75 per item.

(b) It is also noticed that the quantity of item A supplied decreased as the price decreased.
If price p and supply q are related by the linear function S (p) = 0.75q, find the quantity
1
supplied at a price of $ 5.25 per item and at a price of $ 3.00 per item.
(c) Graph both functions D (p) and S (p) on the same axes.
