An important application of systems of equations arises in
connection with supply and demand. As the price of a product
increases, the demand for that product decreases. However, at
higher prices, suppliers are willing to produce greater quantities of
the product. Exercises 97–98 involve supply and demand.
97. A chain of electronics stores sells hand-held color
televisions. The weekly demand and supply models are
given as follows:
Number sold
Demand model
per week
N = -5p + 750
Price of television
Number supplied to
the chain per week N = 2.5p.

a. How many hand-held color televisions can be sold and
supplied at $120 per television?
b. Find the price at which supply and demand are equal. At
this price, how many televisions can be supplied and sold
each week?
