In addition to the basic monthly rate, the company charges $8.95 for each additional GB of data over 6 GB. A customer on this plan receives a bill for $135.50. How much data did this customer send and receive during the month?arrow_forwardWhen a company offers a new product or service, they estimate how much of that product or service people will want at different prices. This is referred to as the product or service demand . As the price of a product or service increases, the demand usually decreases, and this drives the price down. Companies use the estimated demand to determine how much of a product or service they are willing to supply at different prices. As the price of a product or service increases, companies are willing to supply more of it because they will earn more money. If you graph the demand and the supply curves on the same xy-plane, they will sometimes intersect at the point where the price and the supply are in equilibrium. Consider the scenario below. Yaseen is a local artist who wants to increase the amount of money she earns every month by selling at-home painting kits. These kits will include a photograph of the finished painting, a link and password to Yaseen’s YouTube channel where she will…arrow_forward
