If the price elasticity of supply for takeaway pizza is 1.20 and the price of takeaway pizza
rises by 20%, by how much will the supply of takeaway pizza expand?
Solution: 24%
Explanation:
Price elasticity of supply for pizza = % change in quantity
supplied of pizza / % change in price of pizza
1.20 = % change in quantity supplied of pizza / 20%
1.20 * 20% = % change in quantity supplied of pizza
24% = % change in quantity supplied of pizza
