If your answer is 1.125, enter 1.13. ¢ Do not enter a currency symbol. | Correct Answer 40 Method 1, invert both equations to get quantity as a function of price. Set them equal to each other and solve for price. Method 2: Set the given equations equal to each other to get the equilibrium quantity. Insert equilibrium quantity into either of the given equations to get equilibrium price
