Respuesta :

Answer:

cross price elasticity of demand = 1.8

Explanation:

cross price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity of X / % change in price of Y

cross price elasticity of demand = 9% / 5% = 1.8

When the cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the products are substitutes. If the cross price elasticity is negative, then the products are complements.
