Identify the initial and final prices and quantities from the graph. The initial price (P1) is \$3, and the final price (P2) is \$5. Find the corresponding quantities: Q1 at P1 and Q2 at P2.
Use the formula for elasticity of demand: \( E_d = \frac{\% \text{ change in quantity demanded}}{\% \text{ change in price}} \).
Calculate the percentage change in price: \( \% \Delta P = \frac{P2 - P1}{P1} \times 100 \).
Calculate the percentage change in quantity demanded: \( \% \Delta Q = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{Q1} \times 100 \).
Substitute the percentage changes into the elasticity formula to find the elasticity of demand.
