Question:
Lisa sells cherries on the market. On her first day, she charges £4 per punnet and sold 20 punnets. On her second day, she charged £3 per punnets and sold 60. On her third day, she charged £2 and sold 100 and when she charged £1 she sold 140 punnets. She thinks there is a relationship between price and quantity sold and asked you for your help. She told you that she buys the cherries for £0.65 and the stall cost her £60 a day. She also said that she would not mind charging £1.50 or £2.50 but she would not charge £1.75 or £2.25 as it is not practical.
