i also need help with this one:

Supply and Demand let the supply and demand functions for butter pecan cream be given by.

P= s(q)= (2)/(5)q and p = D(q) = 81- (3)/(4)q

where p is the price in dollars and q is the number of batches.

A) Find the equilibrium quantity and the quilibrium price.

is there a formula for this because i am not understanding?

Yes, there is a formula for finding the equilibrium quantity and price in the context of supply and demand. The equilibrium occurs when the quantity demanded (D) equals the quantity supplied (S). To find the equilibrium quantity and price, we need to set the supply and demand functions equal to each other and solve for q.

The supply function is given by:
S(q) = (2/5)q

The demand function is given by:
D(q) = 81 - (3/4)q

Setting them equal to each other:
(2/5)q = 81 - (3/4)q

Now let's solve for q:

Multiply both sides of the equation by 20 to remove the denominators:
8q = 1620 - 15q

Combine like terms:
23q = 1620

Divide both sides of the equation by 23 to isolate q:
q = 1620/23

Now we have the equilibrium quantity, q = 70.4348 (rounded to four decimal places).

To find the equilibrium price, substitute q = 70.4348 back into either the supply or demand function. Let's use the demand function:

D(q) = 81 - (3/4)q
D(70.4348) = 81 - (3/4)(70.4348)

Calculate D(70.4348) to find the equilibrium price.

By evaluating the expression, the equilibrium price is found to be 47.8261 dollars (rounded to four decimal places).

Therefore, the equilibrium quantity is approximately 70.4348 batches, and the equilibrium price is approximately 47.8261 dollars.
