Aaron and Barry, living close to the entrance to the Yosemite National Park, sell the same kind of drinking water to tourists. Every day in the morning, Aaron carries some water to the park. Barry, observing how much water Aaron brings to the park, decides on how much water to sell himself. They have been selling water long enough to know that the price the tourists are willing to pay for the drinking water is determined by the quantity in this way: P = 40 – 2(QA + QB), where QA and QB are the quantities of water Aaron and Barry bring to the park, respectively.
