Answer:

0.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of one good to changes in price of another good.

Cross price elasticity = percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / percentage change in price of good Y

1.5 = percentage change in quantity demanded/ 0.1

= 0.15

I hope my answer helps you
