Expert Solution
Step 1

5)

Cross price elasticity of demand between two goods is the responsiveness of change in demand for a good as the price of related good changes measured in terms of the percentage change.

Cross price elasticity of demand between two goods = Percentage change in Quantity demanded of good (Y)Percentage change in the price of its related good (X)

Given 

% Change in Quantity demanded of good (Y) = 60%

% Change in Price of good (X) = 20%

Cross price elasticity of demand between two goods = 60%20%

Cross price elasticity of demand between two goods = (-)3

The negative cross-price elasticity represents that goods are complementary goods that is why a rise in the price of good X causes a fall in quantity demanded of good Y
