$6,600

Explanation: According to the question, The price elasticity of demand for cars is unitary meaning that any percentage increase or decrease in price of a product will give an equal increase or decrease in the demand for the product.

If cars are sold at $20,000 and current sales is 30 units. To increase the quantity sold to 50 units, there must be a price reduction.

what percentage of increase in quantity to be sold do we have? 50 - 30 = 20

20/30 = 66.67 appx 67%

Meaning that a 67% decrease in price of the car will give an equal 67% increase in sales quantity.

The new price of the car will be $20,000 * 67% = $13,400

new price = $20,000 - $13,400 = $6,600

Answer from: jennifer9983

The answer is $6,600

Explanation:

The unitary elasticity of demand means that the quantity and price must change in the same proportion .

Using the formula

Old quantity - New quantity / Old quantity × 100%

Old quantity = 30 units, New quantity = 50units

30 - 50 / 30 × 100%

-20/30 × 100%

= -0.666 × 100 ignore the minus sign)

= 67% approximately

The percentage change in cars is 67%

0.67 × 20,000 = 13,400

Therefore the new price is

20,000 - 13,400

= 6,600

Therefore the new price is $6,600
