The percentage change in price was 10%.

Solución

To find the percentage change in price that caused the change in quantity supplied, we can use the formula for price elasticity of supply (PES): \[ PES = \frac{\text{Percentage Change in Quantity Supplied}}{\text{Percentage Change in Price}} \] Given: - \( PES = 3 \) - Percentage Change in Quantity Supplied = \( 30\% \) We can rearrange the formula to solve for the percentage change in price: \[ \text{Percentage Change in Price} = \frac{\text{Percentage Change in Quantity Supplied}}{PES} \] Now, substituting the known values: \[ \text{Percentage Change in Price} = \frac{30\%}{3} \] Calculating this gives: \[ \text{Percentage Change in Price} = 10\% \] Thus, the percentage change in price that caused the change in quantity supplied was \( 10\% \). If applicable, rounding to two decimal places, the answer remains \( 10.00\% \).

To find the percentage change in price using the price elasticity of supply formula, we use the formula: \[ \text{Price Elasticity of Supply (E)} = \frac{\text{Percentage Change in Quantity Supplied}}{\text{Percentage Change in Price}} \] Given that the price elasticity of supply is 3 and the percentage change in quantity supplied is 30%, we can set up the equation: \[ 3 = \frac{30\%}{\text{Percentage Change in Price}} \] Now, rearranging to find the percentage change in price, we have: \[ \text{Percentage Change in Price} = \frac{30\%}{3} = 10\% \] So, the percent change in price was **10.00**.
