Question 3 Supply and demand for certain product are 3q-200p+614=0, and 3q+100p-614=0 respectively, where p represents the price per unit in dollars and q represents the number of units sold per time period. The equilibrium price when a tax of 27 cents per unit is imposed on the supplier is Note: Write your answer correct to 0 decimal place

Step 1
To find the equilibrium price and quantity, we need to solve the system of equations: 3q - 200p + 614 = 0 3q + 100p - 614 = 0 We can solve this system of equations by adding the two equations together: (3q - 200p + 614) + (3q + 100p - 614) = 0 6q - 100p = 0 Now Show more…

1. Supply and Demand Equation for certain product are 3q - 200p + 1800 = 0 and 3q + 100p - 1800 = 0 respectively, where p represents the price per unit in dollars and q represents the number of units sold per time period. a) Find the equilibrium price algebraically. b) Find the equilibrium price when a tax of 27 cents per unit is imposed on the supplier.

HarMathAP12 13.4.017.EP In this problem, p is in dollars and x is the number of units. The demand function for a product is p = 60 - x^2. If the equilibrium price is $11 per unit, how many units will be purchased at this price? What is the equilibrium point? (x1, p1) = What is the consumer's surplus? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
