=Rs.23;

△P=P

Concept:

As the price of any good falls, the demand increases. Price and demand are inversely proportional.

Given:

P= Rs.100                          

P1= Rs.80

Q= 4000

Q1= 5000

Find:

We have to find the price elasticity of demand.

Solution:

^P= 80-100= -20

^Q= 5000-4000= 1000

Ed= ^Q/ ^P x P/Q

Ed= 1000/-20 x 100/4000

Ed= 1.25

The price elasticity of demand is 1.25
