You can measure the cross elasticity of demand by dividing the percentage of change in the demand for one product by the percentage of change in the price of another product.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unrelated products have zero cross-price elasticity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: If the cross-price elasticity of demand between two goods is negative, then the goods are considered to be complementary goods.
