Example
A Level Economics · Markets · Price elasticity of demand
A firm raises its price by 10% and the quantity demanded falls by 5%. Calculate the price elasticity of demand.
Elasticity measures how much quantity responds to price, so the change in quantity goes on top. Also, a fall in quantity gives a negative sign.
A sample written to show how a class sounds. The scores show how the exam would credit each answer. Not a real learner.
