The Candy Factory sells candy by the pound, charging $1.60 per pound for quantities up to and including 30 pounds. Above 30 pounds, the Candy Factory charges $1.30 per pound for the entire quantity, plus a quantity surcharge k. If x represents the number of pounds, the price function is as follows. 1.60x for x≤ 30 1.30x+k for x>30 Find k such that the price function p is continuous at x = 30. p(x)=
