Price per taco Sales (weekly)
$5.50 300
$5.00 330
$4.50 360
$4.00 420

a. Compute the price elasticity of demand for tacos, between $6.00 and $6.25 (use the elasticity estimator formula).
b. Compute the price elasticity of demand for burritos, between $5.75 and $6.00 (use the elasticity estimator formula).
c. If the current price is $6.00, and Joe is considering a price decrease of 3.2%, what can you project for a percent change in weekly taco demand (use your elasticity info)?
