What is the price elasticity of supply of good x is double the price elasticity of supply of good Y. 20 percent decline in the price of X results in 16 percent decline in its supply. If the supply of Y increases by 30 percent, calculate the percentage rise in price of Y.

Percentage decline in supply of X/Percentage decline in price of X =

2(Percentage rise in supply of Y/Percentage rise in price of Y)

-16/-20 = 2(30/ Percentage rise in price of Y)

Percentage rise in price of Y= (2 * 30 * -20)/-16

  = -1200/-16 = 75%
