• D. For every dollar the price of burger increases, the company sells $4$ more slices of burger
  

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

For every dollar the price of burger decreases, the company sells $4$ more slices of burger

n represents the number of slices of burgers sold by Kings Burgers and p tells the price of one burger.

$n=1273-4p$

Thus, for every dollar increase in p, n would reduce by 4 and for every dollar decrease in p, n would increase by 4.
