Question

A book store manager observes that the number of magazines sold seems to vary inversely as the price per magazine. If the store sells 350 magazines per week when the price per magazine is $5.90, how many does he expect to sell if he lowers the price to $4.40? Round your answer to the nearest integer if necessary.

Answer 1

Answer:

he will expect to make 1540 dollars per week off of magazines, instead of 2065 if the price was 5.90

Step-by-step explanation:

350x4.40=1540

350x5.90=2065

Answer 2

If he lowers the price to $4.40 for one, he would sell 261 magazines per week.

Calculations and Parameters

Given that there is an inverse proportion

The number of magazines sold is inversely proportional to the price.

Given that he sold 350 magazines weekly at $5.90

Mathematically, this is denoted as:

$350 * \frac{1}{5.90}$

= 350/5.90

= 59.32.

Hence, if he sells at a lower price of $4.40

59.32 * 4.40

= 261 newspapers
