Q = a + bP + cM + dR

where Q is the quantity demanded of the most popular product B.U. sells, P is the price of that product, M is income, and R is the price of a related product.

M 0.0039 0.001 3.258 0.003

R 4.92 1.018 4.829 3.27E-05

d. If P increases by 4%, what would happen (in percentage terms) to quantity demanded?
