Demand elasticity measures the responsiveness of quantity to price. It is represented in terms of “percentage changes,” which is written as “%∆”

The percentage change formula is 100% * (new value – original value) / original value. Here, we calculate %∆Q =100% * (2,212,000 - 2,541,000)/2,541,000

Using the percentage change formula, we calculate %∆P = 100% * (11.50-10.50)/10.50.

This is equal to 12.95 divided by 9.52.

The value of 1.36 is greater than one, but not infinite. It is therefore elastic, but not perfectly elastic.][This text would appear once BOTH answers are selected.
