Answer 1

Answer:

The price of the average transaction multiplied by the number of transactions must double

Explanation:

Since transaction velocity = (number of transactions x average value of transaction ) / amount of money in the economy

So therefore for transaction velocity to remain constant the numerator has to be doubled since the denominator is doubled.

Answer 2
