The cross-price elasticity of demand is represented as follows,

Formula = (โˆ†QX/QX) รท (โˆ†PY/PY)

Further the formula is elaborated as follows,

Formula = (Q1X โ€“ Q0X) / (Q1X + Q0X) รท (P1Y โ€“ P0Y) / (P1Y + P0Y),

Let us take the simple example of gasoline and passenger vehicles. Now let us assume that a surge of 60% in gasoline price resulted in a decline in the purchase of passenger vehicles by 15%. Calculate the cross-price elasticity of demand in this case.

Given,

Percentage Change in Quantity of Passenger Vehicles =.-15%
Percentage Change in Price of Gasoline =60%

Using above formula we get,

= -15% /60%
= -25%
