Answer

Final Answer: The initial supply of the market is \(\boxed{166.67}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Given the logistic growth function for the monthly supply of math action figures $t$ months after initial delivery to market: \[s(t)=\frac{2000}{3+9 e^{-0.67 t}}\]

Step 2 :We need to find the initial supply of the market, which is the value of the function $s(t)$ at $t=0$.

Step 3 :Substitute $t=0$ into the function: \[s(0)=\frac{2000}{3+9 e^{-0.67 \cdot 0}}\]

Step 4 :Simplify the expression to find the initial supply: \[s(0)=166.67\]

Step 5 :Final Answer: The initial supply of the market is \(\boxed{166.67}\).
