Assume the normal quantity of cookies is x.

The demanded quantity by the stores now:
0.5x
The previous cost is: $4 * 0.5x = $2x

The cost of demanded quantity by the stores now: $5 * 0.5x = $2.5x

The price elasticity of demand: $2.5x - $2x = $0.5x

Hope that helps you

4/5(2x+5)−4=1<br><br> x = 1 1/4<br> x = 1 2/5<br> x = 5/8<br> x = 3 1/5
tia_tia [17]
The answer is x=5/8. The reason for this is when you divide it equal 0.625 then when you multiply that by 2 it equals 1.25. After you do that you add 5 which is 6.25. Now we divide 4/5 which is 0.8. Now, we multiply 6.25x0.8=5. 5-4=1. Therefore your answer is 5/8. Hope this helps :)

If 15 foot flagpole ---- casts 11 foot shandow
    28 foot tree -------- casts ?? foot shadow

Length of shadow cast by tree = (28/15)*11 = 20.533 foot.
