Answer:

37.5%

Explanation:

The percentage change in the price of a jar of peanut butter, using the midpoint method, is:

P_B = \frac{3-2}{\frac{3+2}{2}}*100=40\%

The percentage change in sales of jelly is 15%.

The cross elasticity of demand between peanut butter and jelly is:

E = \frac{15\%}{40\%}*100\%\\E=37.5\%

The cross elasticity of demand is 37.5%
