Question
![Imagine that you have opened a small business in your
school selling Italian ices. You make the ices from fresh
fruit – lemons, oranges, blueberries and cherries - using a
family recipe that your grandfather has passed along. You
are concerned about the price you pay for the fruit, as the
price you pay for the ingredients is reflected in the price
you charge your customers, and you are aware that there is
a limit to what your customers are willing to pay. Although
you would like to offer variety to your customers, if the
price of any of the fruits becomes too high, you will cut
back on your purchases, and offer less of that flavor to your
customers. The quantity of lemons you are willing to
purchase at various prices per bushel is presented in the
table below.
The lemon supplier obtains lemons directly from growers
in Al Ain and has a variety of customers that include
restaurants, supermarkets and fruit vendors.
The quantity of lemons you are willing to purchase and the
quantity of lemons the supplier is willing to offer at various
prices per bushel are presented in the table below:
