A company has found that the daily demand x for its boxes of chocolates is inversely proportional to the price p. When the price is $5, the demand is 800 boxes. Approximate the demand when the price is increased to $6.

The demand is 667 boxes  when the price is increased to $6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

We then express the inverse relationship as:

⇒

⇒

It is given that, when the price is $5, the demand is 800 boxes.

So, substitute x=800 and p=5

⇒

⇒

To find the price increased to $6 :

Now, substitute x = 6 and k = 4000 to solve for p.

⇒

⇒ 667 (approximately)

Therefore, the demand at a price of $6 is approximately 667 boxes.
