a.Assume the only factor influencing monthly sales is price. Fit the following three curves to these data: linear (Y = a + bX), exponential (Y = abX), and multiplicative (Y = aXb). Which equation fits the data best?

b.Interpret your best-fitting equation.

c.Using the best-fitting equation, predict sales during a month in which the price is $470.
