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

andrezito [222]
Well, if we look at a calculator and ask, what is 8% of 3000$ we get the answer of 240 dollars.

3000 - 8% = 2760 therefor we know it removes 240 dollars. So the commission is 240 dollars.
