Malik asks Petra, an expert in sports collectibles, to help him find a buyer for his collection of autographed baseballs. Petra finds a buyer who is willing to pay $5,000 for the collection, but Malik scoffs at the offer and insists it is worth at least double that amount. He says he would not even consider selling for less than $7,500. The next week, someone offers to pay $1,000 for the collection. Must Petra tell Malik about the offer?

Answer:

No Petra must not tell Malik about the offer

Step-by-step explanation:

If Petra has no reason to believe that Malik would be interested since he specificly he would not consider any offer for less than $7500 and $1000 is less than the price Malik is looking for, he does not have to pass the offer on to him.

Therefore, No Petra must not tell Malik about the offer
