Travelers driving through Gotham city can use a freeway or cross town toll way to get thru the city. The toll way charges $1.00 per car during the morning rush (6-9AM) and the afternoon rush (4-7PM) and the toll is $0.40 at other times. The weekly demand for using the toll rush hour is Q1 = 800-200P1 where the quantity demanded is measured in thousands of cars, and the weekly demand for non rush hour period is Q2 = 2000 -1000P2. Gothams marginal cost of operating the toll way is MC = 0.02 +0.001Q per car.
