Answer

Answer 1

The quantity "q" sold by Catera is 13

Solution:

Given that Catera has found that as she increases her price, p, the quantity she sells q, decreases

The following equation relates q, the quantity she sells, to p, the price she charges:

p = 284 - 4q

Where, "p" is the price and "q" is the quantity she sells

Given that Catera price is $ 232

To find: quantity she sells

Substitute p = 232 in given equation

232 = 284 - 4q

4q = 284 - 232

4q = 52

`q = (52)/(4) = 13`

q = 13

Therefore the quantity she sells is 13
