Give your answer to 2 decimal places. QUESTION 6 Suppose the demand curve in a market is given by P = 1000-5Q. Recall that the demand curve represents consumers' willingness to pay---for each quantity, the price on the demand curve is the maximum price at which the market will demand (at least) that quantity.
