Quantity Demanded
(Business Travelers)2100 Tickets

1800
(vacationers)2100 Tickets
a. As the price of tickets rises from $150 to $200, what is the price elasticity of demand for (i) business travelers and (ii) vacationers? (Use the midpoint method in your calculations.)
b. Why might vacationers have a different elasticity from business travelers?
