Typically, the sales volume declines with an increase of a product price. It has been observed, however, that for some luxury goods the sales volume may increase when the price increases. The following scatterplot illustrates this rather unusual relationship.
For which of the following prices do sales predicted by the quadratic regression equation reach their minimum?

It is believed that the sales volume of one-liter Pepsi bottles depends on the price of the bottle and the price of a one-liter bottle of Coca-Cola. The following data have been collected for a certain sales region.
The linear model Pepsi Sales = β0 + β1Pepsi Price + β2Cola Price + ε and the log-log model ln(Pepsi Sales) = β0 + β1ln(Pepsi Price) + β2ln(Cola Price) + ε have been estimated as follows:
Using Excel or R,what is the percentage of variations in the Pepsi Sales as explained by the log-log model?
