b) What does the cross-price elasticity of demand for good G equal (to 3 decimal places)? Show clearly how you arrived at your answer. If Fulton has to figure out how you arrived at your answer, marks will be deducted. 3 marks.
Please give ratings it will be appreciable, for any query please comment, Thank you
