CAN ANYONE HELP AT ALL? The Pool Fun Company has learned that, by pricing a newly released Fun Noodle at $3, sales will reach 8000 Fun Noodles per day during the summer. Raising the price to $6 will cause the sales to fall to 5000 Fun Noodles per day. PREDICT THE NUMBER OF SALES IF PRICE IS $3.50. (it's not 6,000)

7500

Step-by-step explanation:

At the price of $3, they will have 8000 sales.  (3, 8000)

At the price of $6, they will have 5000 sales.  (6, 5000)

You can use the information to create an equation.  Use the points above to find a slope.

8000 - 5000  = 3000

3 - 6 = -3

3000/-3 = -1000

The slope is -1000.

Plug the slope into the point-slope equation along with one of the above points.

y - y₁ = m(x₁ - x)

y - 8000 = -1000(x - 3)

y - 8000 = -1000x + 3000

y = -1000x + 11000

Now that you have an equation, plug in the price into the x-value to find the number of sales you will get.

y = -1000x + 11000

y = -1000(3.50) + 11000

y = -3500 + 11000

y = 7500

You will have 7500 sales.

the answer is c. 23/3
