University admissions Suppose the following graph shows the supply of and demand for admission to the University of British Columbia, where supply represents the number of student openings and demand represents the number of students who want to attend UBC (that is, the number of student applications) at any given level of tuition. Use the graph to help you answer the questions that follow. Note: Select and drag one or both of the curves to the desired position. Curves will snap into position, so if you try to move a curve and it snaps back to its original position, just drag it a little farther.
