When price increases by 10% and demand decrease by 15% What will be the price elasticity of demand?
Answer and Explanation:
In this question, the percentage change in quantity demanded is 10%, and the percentage change in price is 15%. So, the implied price elasticity of demand = 10% / 15% = 0.67.
When a 10% change in price leads to more than 10% change in quantity demanded we say demand is?
perfectly elastic demand

When the price of a product is raised by 10 percent the quantity demanded?
a 10 percent increase in price will result in a 10 percent decrease in the quantity demanded.
When the price of a good increased by 10 percent the quantity demanded of it decreased by 2 percent?
The demand for a good is inelastic if the percentage decrease in the quantity demanded is less than the percentage increase in its price. In this example, a 10 percent price rise brings a 2 percent decrease in the quantity demanded, so demand is inelastic.
