What is the price elasticity of the demand for skateboards, when a shop owner wants to know what the effect would be of increasing the price on skate boards he sells in his store. when skate boards cost $200, 10 people are willing to buy those skate boards. if the price increases to $300, only 7 people are willing to buy them. ?

The price elasticity of the demand for skateboards = 0.6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Original price of skate boards = $200

Quantity of skate board = 10

New price of skate boards = $300

Quantity of skate board = 7

Since we know that "Price of commodity is inversely related to quantity demanded."

So, price elasticity of demand is given by

Hence, the price elasticity of the demand for skateboards = 0.6.

answer:   b

step-by-step explanation:

x2 = 16

x can not be a negative number because 16 is positive

the only answer would be positive 8
