Well, if the percent change in the quantity demanded is greater than the percent change in the price, economists label the demand for the good as elastic. For example, if the price of a good increases by 10 percent and the quantity demanded of that good decreases by 20 percent, that good is said to have elastic demand.
When the price of a good increases by 10 percent the quantity demanded of it decreases by 2 percent?
The demand for a good is inelastic if the percentage decrease in the quantity demanded is less than the percentage increase in its price. In this example, a 10 percent price rise brings a 2 percent decrease in the quantity demanded, so demand is inelastic.
