Chapter 8.4, Problem 12E
A movie theater has been charging $10.00 per person and selling about 500 tickets on a typical weeknight. After surveying their customers, the theater management estimates that for every 50 cents that they lower the price, the number of moviegoers will increase by 50 per night. Find the demand function and calculate the consumer surplus when the tickets are priced at $8.00.

A vendor charges $43 for a jacket. What is the demand function?
The value of all goods and services produced in a nation during a specific period of time, as compared to an earlier period, is called the economic growth rate. It measures the change in a nation's gross domestic product (GDP). The United States had an economic growth rate of approximately 2.9%and GDP of approximately $20.58 trillion in 2018. If the economic growth rate is expected to stay the same for the next 3 years, what is the projected GDP for the year 2021?
a
$21.96 trillion
b
$23.15 trillion
c
$22.42 trillion
d
$22.31 trillion
