The equilibrium price for a ticket to the circus at the arena is $25. Which of the following is true? O The demand for each basketball game must be more than the demand for each circus performance. O Basketball games must be more expensive to produce than a circus performance. O The supply of circus performances must be less elastic than the supply of basketball games. The demand for each circus performance must be greater than the demand for each basketball game.
