Expert Solution
Introduction:

"Since you have asked multiple questions, we ill solve first question for you .If you want specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post that question only"

By calculating the ratio of the change in the quantity demanded to the change in the price, elasticity is defined as the ratio of two percentages. A demand that is elastic experiences a significant change in quantity demanded as a result of a price change. When the amount demanded changes little as a result of a price change, the demand is said to be inelastic. Elasticity is a term used in economics to describe how a good or service's total quantity demanded changes in response to changes in its price.
