The owner of a chain of gas stations found that when the price per gallon was $ 3.24 last week, 9,914 gallons were sold. This week, he noticed that when the price per gallon was $ 3.38, 9,034 gallons were sold. Calculate demand elasticity to the nearest tenth (include the negative sign, as shown in class). Take all of your calculations toward the final answer to three decimal places.

(a) Suppose that when Snarfburger originally charged a price of $5 for their burger, and they sold 1,000 burgers per week. Thinking that they could potentially make more money by charging a higher price, they raised their price by 50 cents. After raising their price, they sold 800 units per week. Find the price elasticity of demand for Snarfburgers. b) Suppose that Francisca received a 20% raise this year as a result of her impressive sprea sheet skills. If she...
