668568302 | price elasticity of demand | the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price | 8 | |
668568303 | price elasticity of supply | the responsiveness of the quantity supplied to a change in price, measured by dividing the percentage change in the quantity supplied of a product by the percentage change in the product's price | 9 | |
