A group of shops receives boxes of six eggs from suppliers. In one week, fewer boxes are delivered. Bakeries and shoppers can see the price in the shops but are not told why the deliveries have fallen.
| Situation | Boxes delivered each day | Price per box |
|---|---|---|
| Before deliveries fell | 10,000 | £2.00 |
| After deliveries fell | 7,000 | £3.00 |
Using the table, explain what the rise in the price of a box of eggs tells bakeries and shoppers.
