    Price elasticity of demand  is concerned with the change in demand due to change in price of a product.there are several ways to calculate price elasticity. Lets take a example of percentage method.
    We have a product x ,
                     price=25 rs per piece ,demand=30 pieces daily                                 
    if we increase the price of x then,price= 20 rs per piece
        and demend=40 pieces daily                     p=5/25*100=20%                                      elasticity= percentage change in demand                                                     percentage change in price                            d=10/30*100=33.3%
                              =20/33.3=0.6 ans price elasticity is always negative because price decreases ok that"s point.
