    The price elasticity of demand for textbooks is 1.25

    Explanation:

    Price elasticity of demand is given by percentage change in quantity demanded divided by percentage change in price

    Percentage change in quantity of textbooks demanded = 5%

    Percentage change in the price of a textbook = 4%

    Price elasticity of demand for textbooks = 5% : 4% = 1.25
