      %change in price

      %change in price
      %change in demand

    3. elasticity =

Correct Option: A

Price elasticity of demand (PED or Ed) is a measure used in economics to show the responsiveness, or elasticity, of the quantity demanded of a good or service to a change in its price. The formula for the coefficient of price elasticity of demand for a good is:

e(R) =
DQ / Q
DP /

where e(R) = Elasticity of demand; dQ/ Q= % change in demand and dP/P= % change in price.
