- The formula for price elasticity of demand almost looks an average rate of change, the change in demand for a change in price, except that we're using percent change. With average rate of change, the order of the two points doesn't matter, as long as it is consistent. But with percent change, the order of points can matter, because we divide the change by the original quantity. For example, we looked at changes from 50 to 75 cents, so we divided by 50 cents. If we want to consider a price reduction from 75 cents to 50 cents, we would divide by 75 cents. Would the price elasticity of demand be the same? That's what you'll explore now. The formula would change to: (а — 2) / (p1 — рә) 92 P2 Using the two data points here, compute elasticity for Boston using the formula relative to the second point.
