Calculating Price based on Elasticity of Explorer Group

For section 3, where we need to calculate the adjusted price of explorer group, why we use the maximum capacity 990 instead of the 900 demand from explorers when calculating the potential price change  (where the answer says"The new price would therefore be €161.50, instead of the previous €170.")? The actual demand is 900 not 990

Good luck!
