Answer:

b.The good is a necessity

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

3% / 12% = 0.25

When the coefficient of elasticity is less than one, demand is inelastic.

Inelastic demand means that when price increases, there is little or no change in quantity demanded.

Necessity goods are goods that are very important to consumers and thus they tend to have an inelastic demand. For example, medications.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good because of their similarity. E.g. butter and margarine

Goods with many substitutes have an elastic demand. If price of a good increases, consumers can easily shift consumption to substitute goods.

Narrowly defined goods have an elastic demand because it is easier to find subsituites for such goods.

Demand is more elastic in the long run because consumers have more time to search for substitutes.

When the president issues a rule or regulation that reorganizes or otherwise directs the affairs of the executive branch?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
What you described is called an executive order. The president can do this whenever he wants and if it's unconstitutional then the congress and the judiciary system, more specific the Supreme Court, can overthrow this and ban the executive order because it's considered to be unconstitutional or harmful. The president can use this for almost anything.

Steve puts only dimes and quarters into his piggy bank. Right now he has five more dimes than quarters there, and they make $74.
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

There are 211 quarters and 216 dimes

Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to properly understand what a dime is and what a quarter is. A quarter is 25 cents while a dime is 10 cents in value.

Let the number of dimes present be d and the number of quarters present be q.

We are told that he has 5 more dimes than quarters.

Mathematically, this means that:

d - q = 5 or d = q+ 5 .......(I)

The total value there is $74.35. In cents, this has a value of 7435 cents.

Mathematically:

25q + 10d = 7435......(ii)

We substitute what we have in 1 in 2

25q + 10(q+5) = 7435

25q + 10q + 50 = 7435

35q + 50 = 7435

35q = 7435-50

35q = 7385

q = 7385/35

q = 211

Recall, d = q+ 5 ; d = 211 + 5 = 216
