उत्तर
0.67
Explanation:
The price elasticity of demand (PED) measures the responsiveness of the quantity demanded of a good to a change in its price.
It is calculated using the formula:
`"Price Elasticity of Demand (PED)" = "Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded" / "Percentage Change in Price"`
Given
Percentage change in quantity demanded = +50%
Percentage change in price = +75%
PED = `(+50%)/(+75%)`
`= 50/75`
= 0.67
