The band is trying to raise money for their program. The are going to sell boxes of fruit and the number of boxes they can afford to sell depends on the price per box, p, according to the function  $n\left(p\right)=\frac{4800}{p}$  . The number of boxes that customers will purchase also depends on the price, p, according to the function  $c\left(p\right)=600-12p$  . For what price per box will the number of boxes they buy equal the number of boxes that will be sold?

• p=$10

• p=$40

• P=$10 and $40

• p=$480 and $120
