Danny "Dollar" dela Cruz is a neighborhood's 9-year-old entrepreneur. His most recent venture is selling homemade brownies that he bakes himself. At a price of $1.75 each, he sells 250. At a price of $1.25 each, he sells 300. Instructions: Use the midpoint method and round your answer to two decimal places. Do not include a negative sign (-). a. What is the elasticity of demand? b. Is demand elastic or inelastic over this price range? O Inelastic O Elastic c. If demand had the same elasticity for a price decline from $1.25 to $0.75 as it does for the decline from $1.75 to $1.25, would cutting the price from $1.25 to $0.75 increase or decrease Danny's total revenue?
