Answer:

-3.88 or 3.88

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand

Using this formula

Price elasticity of Demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

Price elasticity of Demand =%∆QD / %∆P

Let plug in the formula

Price elasticity of Demand= (( 337 - 588 )/( 1.1- 0.99)) * ( 0.99 / 588 )

Price elasticity of Demand= (-251 / 0.11) * ( 0.0017)

Price elasticity of Demand= -22,81.8181 * 0.0017

Price elasticity of Demand= -3.88 or 3.88 ( absolute value)

Therefore the absolute value of the price elasticity of demand will be -3.88 or 3.88
