Answer

Equilibrium price: $\$ 41.25$, and Equilibrium quantity: $62.5$ diet pills.

Work Step by Step

The supply and demand functions we found: $S(q)=0.5q+10$ $D(q)=-0.5q+72.50$. Equilibrium: $S(q)=D(q)$ Solving for q, $0.5q+10=-0.5q+72.50\qquad/+0.5q-10$ $q=62.50$ The corresponding equilibrium price is S(q)... $S(62.5)= 0.5(62.5) +10$ $=31.25+10$ $=41.25$ Equilibrium price is $\$ 41.25$, and Equilibrium quantity is $62.5$ diet pills.
