What is cross-price elasticity of demand?

A cross-price elasticity of demand is an economic tool that measure the %change in quantity demand for a good after a change in the price of another

The demand is calculated by %change in the quantity demanded of one good over %change in the price of the other good.

Hence, the % of quanitty demanded is 36% and the % of change in the price is 14%

Cross-price elasticity of demand = 36% / 14%

Cross-price elasticity of demand = 2.57142857143

Cross-price elasticity of demand = 2.57

In conclusion, the cross-price elasticity of demand for hevs and gasoline is  2.57.
