Fuction Formula problem

Question

There is this one part of a question I have gotten stuck on where I figured out that the formula was P=13-J/50 and the last part says, "At what price will there be 7.97 thousand cans sold weekly?(Round your answer to two decimal places) I did the math and got it at 11.41 but it keeps saying the answer is wrong even though by doing it by calculator gives what it wants 7.97 so I don't know what kind of silliness is going on but Id really appreciate the help if it can be given.

Answer 1

So your price, being p is = 13-j/50

so 7.97 = j where J represents the number of cans.

When you plug 7.97 into the equation you should get 0.10 rounded to two decimal places.

(13-7.97)/50

I’m not sure how you would have gotten 11.41

with cost questions you should see the red flag when you come up with such a large cost for a product and relook at the problem. In this case 10 cents a can would make more sense for production cost. Hope this helps!
