Answer #1

Ed=%change in quantity demanded/%change in price.

Ed=1

Decrease in demand=3%

%change in price=%change in quantity demanded/Ed

%change in price=3%/1

%change in price=3%

Elasticity of supply has nothing to do with this question because price will change because of change in demand,and none of the answers are correct.
