    Price elasticity of demand = 1.76

    Explanation:

    Price elasticity of demand (PED) is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price.

    Where a percentage change in price produces a more than a proportional change in quantity, we say the product is price elastic. On the other hand, where a change in price produces a less than a proportional change in quantity demand, then demand is price inelastic

    PED is computed as follows:

    PED = % change in quantity / % change in Price

    % change in demand = (56 - 67) / 67 * 100 = 28.93081761

    % change in price = 16.41791045

    PED = 28.93/16.4179 = 1.762

    Price elasticity of demand = 1.76
