Solve the following transportation model by utilizing the information contained in Table 1 below. Dollar amounts in Table 1 are the transportation cost per unit for the items being shipped. Supply and Demand quantities are Right Hand Side values for the respective Constraints for Supply and Demand. Also include the Interpretation.

Solve each problem. Use the data points $(0,5492)$ and $(4,7050)$ to find a linear equation that models the data shown in the table accompanying Figure 49 in Example $7 .$ Then use it to predict the average annual tuition and fees for in-state students at public four-year colleges in $2010 .$ How does the result compare to the actual figure given in the table, $\$ 7605 ?$

Demand for Gasoline The following table shows the demand for gasoline in the United States in terms of the price per gallon: ${ }^{37}$ $$ \begin{array}{r|c|c|c|c} \begin{array}{r} \text { Price } p \\ \text { (\$/gallon) } \end{array} & 1.50 & 2.50 & 3 & 3.50 \\ \hline \begin{array}{r} \text { Demand } q \\ \text { Demanday) } \end{array} & 1.7 & 1.65 & 1.55 & 1.4 \\ \hline \text { gallons sold/person/day } & & & & \\ \hline \end{array} $$ Which of the following kinds of models would best fit the given data? Explain your choice of model. $(A, a, b,$ and $c$ are constants.) (A) $q=A b^{p} \quad(b>1)$ (B) $q=A b^{p} \quad(b<1)$ (C) $q=a p^{2}+b p+c \quad(a>0)$ (D) $q=a p^{2}+b p+c \quad(a<0)$
