Kenyon Mcguire · Answer 1

price is 2,5 punds

quantity is 500

Step-by-step explanation:

1.

demand is given by: q=-400p + 1500

supply is given by: q=200p

2. the demand and supply are equal so the equasion is: q=q

200p = - 400p + 1500

600p = 1500

p = 2,5

3. Now when we have price, easly we can calculate and the quantity:

q=200 x 2,5

q=500
