Answer 1

Answer: Elasticity of luxury weekend hotel packages in las vegas is -1.432.

Explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in the price of the good.

Mid point method-

$e=\frac{Q2-Q1}{\frac{Q1+Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1+P2}{2} }{P2-P1}$$e=\frac{1700-2000}{\frac{2000+1700}{2} } * \frac{\frac{280+250}{2} }{280-250}$

$e=\frac{-300}{1850} } * \frac{265}{30}$

$e= -0.16216*8.8333$

$e= -1.432$

Elasticity of luxury weekend hotel packages in las vegas is -1.432.
