Explanation / Answer

Elasticity of demand = % change in quantity demanded / % change in price

P1 = 2.50, P2 = 2, Q1 = 100, Q2 = 138

% change in quantity demanded = (Q2 - Q1)/Q1 x 100 = (138 - 100)/100 x 100 = 38%

% change in price = (2 - 2.50)/2.50 x 100 = - 0.50/2.50 x 100 = - 20%

Elasticity of demand = 38/(- 20) = - 1.90
