The Price Elasticity of Demand (commonly known as just price elasticity) measures the rate of response of quantity demanded due to a price change. The formula for the Price Elasticity of Demand (PEoD) is:

PEoD = (% Change in Quantity Demanded)/(% Change in Price)

The answer to the question you have given is 2.5.

The Price elasticity shows that demand is Price Elastic (sensitive to price changes).
