A tire manufacturer estimates that the demand function for their radial tires will be given by P = -0.1x² +90 where p is the price (in dollars) and x is the number of tires demanded (in thousands). The corresponding supply function is given by p= 0.22² +2 +50 Determine the consumers' surplus if the market price is set at the equilibrium price (remember that x is measured in thousands).

Question
A tire manufacturer estimates that the demand function for their radial tires will be given by
P = -0.1x² +90
where p is the price (in dollars) and x is the number of tires demanded (in thousands). The corresponding supply function is given by
p= 0.2x²+x+50
Determine the consumers' surplus if the market price is set at the equilibrium price (remember that x is measured in thousands).
