    Consumption of good will increase by 15%

    Explanation:

    Price Elasticity of Demand : is demand responsiveness to price change.

    Ped = Percentage change in demand / percentage change in price

    Ped = %ΔQ / %ΔP

    %ΔP = - 5; Pe = - 3 [Given]

    As per formula:

    -3 = %ΔQ / - 5

    %ΔQ = (-3) X (-5) = + 15%

    Percentage change (increase) in Quantity = 15%
