Each morning, any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week, the supermarket can buy fresh lettuce for $3.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $14.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $1.50 a box.
