Solve the Problem $$\mathrm { p } = 398 - 73 \ln ( \mathrm { q } )$$

question 508

Short Answer

Solve the problem.
-Data representing the price and quantity demanded for hand-held electronic organizers were analyzed every
day for 15 days. The logarithmic function of best fit to the data was found to be $$\mathrm { p } = 398 - 73 \ln ( \mathrm { q } )$$ Use this to
predict the number of hand-held electronic organizers that would be demanded if the price were $275.
