Calculate the Elasticity Coefficient for the following scenario. Patty bakes pies, she sells them for $10 each and sells about 55 pies per week. But the price of her ingredients increased so she' s contemplating a price increase. She will raise the price to $12 and she estimates her demand will fall to 50 pies per week.
