What is the Price elasticities of Demand and Supply?

What is the Price elasticities of Demand and Supply?
The price elasticity of supply (or demand) is the percentage change in supply/demand for a one-percentage change in price. Eg, if the price elasticity is 1, a 1% change in the price of a good causes a 1% drop in price. (Note that elasticity is given in absolute value, since it is usually negative.)
