Each small square in the grid for this graph has one side equal to 1 pound of bolts and one side equal to 1 dollar per pound. The area of one sm
square is therefore
small squares in the purple shaded rectangle.
On this graph, the area of the purple rectangle corresponds to:
King Hardware's revenue from selling bolts, measured in dollars
O The price of the bolts, measured in dollars per pound
New Price/Quantity
None of these-the area has no meaning
The number of bolts that King Hardware sold, measured in pounds
(?)
Now suppose King Hardware raises its price to $6.00 per pound of bolts. As a result, it now sells 5 pounds of bolts.
Use the blue rectangle to draw the area that corresponds to the new price and quantity.
Did raising the price of bolts increase King Hardware's revenue?
