Answer:

(D) 43.48 percent fall in the price of a ticket.

Explanation:

Price Elasticity of demand measure the responsiveness of demand to change in the price of a product. It calculates the ratio of change in demand and change in price.

Price elasticity of demand = % change in demand / % change in price

0.23 = 10% / % change in price

% change in price = 0.1 / 0.23

% change in price = 0.4348 = 43.48%

Fall in price will increase the attendance in the game.
