    Answer

    b. the sale of 125 percent more radios than before.

    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

    2.5 = y/50

    y = 2.5 * 50

    y = 125

    y = 125%

    From the above, we can see than an increase in price by 50% will lead to an additional demand in cellphone of 125% more than before.

    The correct answer is

    b. the sale of 125 percent more radios than before.
