Recently, a caramel apple vendor went to different venues. At a price of $10/caramel apple, Problem 6: they sold 1600 apples. But, at a price of $6/caramel apple they sold 3200 apples. Assume a linear relationship between price ($) and the number of caramel apples sold. Look at your variables below carefully. (a) Make a rough sketch of the given data.
