Suppose the wholesale price of a certain brand of medium-sized eggs p (in dollars/carton) is related to the weekly supply x (in thousands of cartons) by the equation .



If 27,000 cartons of eggs are available at the beginning of a certain week and the supply is falling at the rate of 1,000 cartons/week, at what rate is the wholesale price changing? Round the answer to the nearest tenth. (Hint: To find the value of p when , solve the supply equation for p when ).



Round the answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
