Answer:

8.08

Explanation:

Hello!

Income elasticity of demand is derived by dividing the negative percentage change in demand with the percentage change in actual income.

The negative percentage change in demand is computed as:

19/20 = 0.95, representing a 95%

Next, the percentage change in real income is calculated as:

(34,000-30,000)/34,000 = 0.1176, equivalent to 11.76%

Thus, the income elasticity of demand is:

0.95/0.1176 = 8.08

I hope this helps!:)
