Answer: Percentage change in quantity would decrease by 12.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Price elasticity of demand = -0.8

Price of each unit = $100

After change, price of each unit becomes = $110

% change in quantity would be

\dfrac{New-old}{old}\times 100=\dfrac{110-100}{100}\times 100=10\%

As we know the relation between price, quantity and elasticity.

e_D=\dfrac{\text{\% change in quantity}}{\text{\%change in price}}\\\\-0.8=\dfrac{10\%}{x}\\\\x=\dfrac{10}{-0.8}\\\\x=-12.5\%

Hence, Percentage change in quantity would decrease by 12.5%.

Solve -1.2x+2.5=0.8x+6.5<br>x=2<br>O<br>x=-4 0​
Bond [772]

Answer:

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- 1.2x + 2.5 = 0.8x + 6.5 ( subtract 0.8x from both sides )

- 2x + 2.5 = 6.5 ( subtract 2.5 from both sides )

- 2x = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )

x = - 2
