Answer:

$7.5

Greater

Explanation:

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

0.2 = 10%/ percentage change in price

percentage change in quantity demanded = 50% = 0.5

0.5 = (New price - $5) / $5

New price = (5 × 0.5) + 5 = $7.5

In the short run, demand is relatively inelastic because consumers need time to find suitable substitutes but in the long run, demand is usually more elastic.
