I am assuming that x = 4 ; y = 550 units ; and price is 8.25

x is the price
y is the demand

"demand varies inversely as the price" - this means that as the price increases, the demand decreases and vice versa.

y = k/x

520 = k / 4
520 * 4 = k
2080 = k 

If k = 2080 ; x = 8.25 ; y = ?

y = k / x
y = 2080 / 8.25
y = 252.12

With a price of 8.25, the demand would approximately be 252.
