Consider a small country where the domestic market for sandals is described by the following demand and supply equations, respectively: P = 100 – (1/2)Q and P = 20 + (1/3)Q where P represents the price of a pair of sandals and Q represents the quantity of sandals. The world price for a pair of sandals is $45. Therefore the gains from trade would be     $135.00     $102.50     $88.75     $122.50
