The consumer demand equation for tissues is given by q = (102 - p)^2, where p is the price per case of tissues and q is the demand in weekly sales. (a) Determine the price elasticity of demand E when the price is set at $29. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) E = Interpret your answer. The demand is going ? by % per 1% increase in price at that price level. (b) At what price should tissues be sold to maximize the revenue? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ (c) Approximately how many cases of tissues would be demanded at that price? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) cases per week

Step 1
First, we need to find the price elasticity of demand (E) when the price is $29. The formula for price elasticity of demand is: E = (% change in quantity demanded) / (% change in price) Show more…

The consumer demand equation for tissues is given by q = 8,836 - 188 p + p^2, where p is the price per case of tissues and q is the demand in weekly sales. Determine the price elasticity of demand E when the price is set at $27. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) E = Interpret your answer. When the price is set at $27, the demand is going down by % per 1% increase in price. At that price level, the demand is inelastic. If they raise prices, revenue will increase.
The consumer demand equation for tissues is given by q = 11,449 - 214p + p^2, where p is the price per case of tissues and q is the demand in weekly sales. Determine the price elasticity of demand E when the price is set at $25. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) E = When the price is set at $25, the demand is going down by _________ % per 1% increase in price.
