A line graph shows number of products sold versus profit per product sold in dollars. The x-axis represents number of products sold, ranging from 0 to 500 in increments of 100. The y-axis shows the profit per product sold in dollars ranging from 0 to 40 in increments of 10. A smooth curve is plotted on the graph that passes through the following approximate points left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 100 comma 20 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 300 comma 34 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 400 comma 30 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 500 comma 25 right parenthesis.
The given graph represents the relationship between the profit per product sold versus the total number of products sold in a business model. If the total number of products sold increased from 400 to 500 products, will the profit amount per product sold increase, decrease, or remain constant? Enter 1 if the profit amount per product sold will increase. Enter 2 if the profit amount per product sold will decrease. Enter 3 if the profit amount per product sold will remain constant.

To determine the change in profit per product sold as the number of products sold increases from 400 to 500, we can look at the points given on the graph.
At 400 products sold, the profit per product is approximately 30 dollars. At 500 products sold, the profit per product is approximately 25 dollars.
Since the profit per product decreases from 30 to 25 dollars when moving from 400 to 500 products sold, the correct answer would be:
Enter 2 if the profit amount per product sold will decrease.
