The demand equation for a certain brand of metal alloy audiocassette tape is , where x represents the number (in thousands) of ten-packs demanded each week when the unit price is $p.



How fast is the quantity demanded increasing when the unit price/ten-pack is $20 and the selling price is dropping at the rate of $.11/ten-pack/week? Round your answer to the nearest integer.



Hint: To find the value of x when p = 20, solve the equation  for x when p = 20.





A. Increasing at the rate of 93 ten packs/wk.

B. Increasing at the rate of 82 ten packs/wk.

C. Increasing at the rate of 66 ten packs/wk.

D. Increasing at the rate of 31 ten packs/wk.
