Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Initial Units sold, Q1 = 40 pairs

Initial Price, P1 = $40

Final price, P2 = $20

Final units sold = 60 pairs

Now,

Using the midpoint formula,

the absolute value of the price elasticity of​ demand

price elasticity of​ demand = \frac{\frac{Change in quantity sold}{\frac{Total quantity sold}{2}}}{\frac{Change in price}{\frac{Total price}{2}}}

or

price elasticity of​ demand = \frac{\frac{Q2-Q1}{\frac{Q1+Q2}{2}}}{\frac{P1-P2}{\frac{P2+P1}{2}}}

or

price elasticity of​ demand = \frac{\frac{60-40}{\frac{40+60}{2}}}{\frac{40-20}{\frac{40+20}{2}}}

or

price elasticity of​ demand = \frac{\frac{20}{50}}{\frac{20}{30}}

price elasticity of​ demand =  0.6
