- A taco hut is trying to determine its demand if it changes it's price. In 2019, they sold tacos for 1.00 and sold 6,000. In 2020, they increase the price of tacos to 1.50 and demand dropped to 5,500. In 2021, the owners of the taco hut want to increase taco price to 2.00 dollars. What would demand be for 2021? What if they lowered the price to .50, how much would demand be?arrow_forwardStep 1: Fill in the appropriate values for original quantity, new quantity, original price, and new price. Step 2: Calculate the average quantity by adding the original quantity and the new quantity, and then dividing by two. Do the same for the average price. Step 3: Calculate the change in quantity by subtracting the original quantity from the new quantity. Do the same for the change in price. Step 4: Calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded by dividing the change in quantity by the average quantity. Do the same to calculate the percentage change in price. Step 5: Calculate the price elasticity of demand by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price, ignoring the negative sign.
