On Sundays, people in Los Angeles consider a boat to Catalina Island to spend the day on the beach there. The utility that a person gets from visiting Catalina is 1-[n/10] – p , where n is the number of visitors on the island and p is the price of round-trip transportation (by boat). (Note that a visitor obtains more satisfaction if there are fewer other visitors on the island). The utility of staying home is zero.

In equilibrium, how many people visit the island on a given Sunday?  ( Your answer should depend on p.)
