If the price of a hamburger is increased from $8 to $10, the price elasticity of demand equals ________. Use the midpoint formula.

Respuesta :

The Price elasticity of demand is -3.

What is Price elasticity of demand?

The Price elasticity of demand shows the change in consumption of a product in relation to its change in its price.

% change in price = (10-8) / ((10+8)/2)

% change in price = 2/9

% change in price = 22.22

% change in quantity = (1-2) / ((2+1)/2)

% change in quantity = -66.67

Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity/% change in price

Price elasticity of demand = -66.67/22.22

Price elasticity of demand = -3

Hence, the Price elasticity of demand is -3.

Therefore, the Option 2 is correct.
