Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A market clearing price is a price at which the quantity supplied matches the quantity demanded. At this price, every seller who is willing to sell at or below the market-clearing price can do so, and every buyer who is willing to buy at or above the market-clearing price can do so as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -The market-clearing price is the price at which the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded. This price is the only one that balances, or “clears, ” the market. Market competition tends to move prices toward market-clearing levels.
