The reason states that elasticity of demand is calculated as the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price. This is also true as elasticity of demand is calculated using the formula: percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in price.

Both the assertion and reason are correct and related as they provide accurate statements about the concept of elasticity of demand and how it is calculated.
