    The formula of product's price elasticity is calculated by % Change in Quantity Demanded / % Change in Price.

    % Change quantity Demanded = ($ 75 - $60) / $60 x 100%

    = 25 %

    % Change in price = ($80 - $100) / $100 x 100% = - 20%

    product's price elasticity = 25/20 = 1.25 (economists often drop the negative sign and express the price elasticity of demand as a positive number)
