    Answer: PED = - 1.665

    The price demand elasticity is relatively elastic because PED is greater than 1 ... (ignore the minus sign)

    Explanation:

    Using the formula PED = % change in quantity / % change in price

    PED = ((Q1 - Q0) / (Q1 + Q0)) / ((P1 - P0) / (P1+P0)) ... EQU 1 where Q1 = 50 is quantity of product at Price P1 = 10 and Q0 = 25 is quantity of product at Price P0 = 15 and PED is price of elasticity

    Substituting figures into equ1

    PED = ((50 - 25) / (50+25)) / ((10 - 15) / (10+15))

    PED = - 1.665
