Answer:

The price of ice-cream should be reduced.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the price elasticity of demand is 1.8,which is given as

Price/Demand=1.8

As the values is greater than 1 this indicates that the price of the ice-cream is more than the demand of the ice-cream.

This indicates that the price is more so the price of ice-cream should be reduced.
