I don't understand what is meant by the first sentence.  Do a thousand people need ten gallons, a thousand need 20 gallons and so on, or are there only a thousand people, roughly a quarter of which will need each quantity? ~ [[User:SharonS|SharonS]] 13:15, 19 February 2007 (EST)

:REPLY: Good question, Sharon.  "Suppose 1000 persons in a town '''each''' have the following weekly demands for gas ..." means "'''each'''" person has the expressed demand (and likewise, the supply is for each).  As always, the key is to find where supply meets demand, or where the supply and demand curves intersect.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 16:25, 19 February 2007 (EST)
