A bakery works out a demand function for its chocolate chip cookies and finds it to be q= D(x)=559-16x, where q is the quantity of cookies sold when the price per cookie, in cents, is x. Use this information to answer parts a) through f). a) Find the elasticity. E(x)=0- b) At what price is the elasticity of demand equal to 1? (Round to the nearest cent as needed.) c) At what prices is the elasticity of demand elastic? OA. Greater than 17¢ OB. Less than 17¢ OC. Prices cannot be elastic in this case OD. Prices are elastic at all values. (
