Consider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same, the equilibrium price is $4.50, and the equilibrium quantity is 31.0. When the price is $8.75, the quantity supplied of cat food is 75.0 and the quantity supplied of dog food is 105.0. For simplicity of analysis, the demand for both goods is the same.Using the midpoint formula, calculate the elasticity of supply for dog food. Please round to two decimal places.
