उत्तर
The government wants to reduce the consumption of good by 10%. The price elasticity of demand for elasticity is -0.4. The government should raise the price of elasticity by 25%.

Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded = Price Elasticity of Demand × Percentage Change in Price
−10% = −0.4 × Percentage Change in Price
Percentage Change in Price = `(-10%)/-0.4`
