Answer:

PED= 0.1571

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand (PED) indicates how the quantity demanded change when the price changes. Is defined by this equation:  

Price Elasticity of Demand = Percentage change in Q/ Percentage change in P  

In this case, the problem is giving percentage changes in Q but we must calculate the percentage change in price:

%Change in price = ( p2-p1/p1)*100= ($4.09-$2.96)/$2.96= 0.3817*100=38.17%

%Change in quantity is= -6%

PED= -6%/38.17%

In absolute value:

PED= 0.1571

If the PED is less than 1 then gasoline is considered as inelastic.

RoseWind [281]

I believe the answer is: its emergency lights are flashing

When is emergency lights are flashing, the wrecker would most likely driving toward the area where accidents happen, and they would be used to drag out ruins or the heavy vehicles that collided on the sites. Because of this, we need to provide space for the wrecker to pass if it shows its emergency lights.
