Answer:

2. elastic; inelastic

Explanation:

The price elasticity of demand, the amount consumers demand from a particular price are different for each good or service, and when the price changes, the response shown as the change in the quantity requested is different for each good (even at a different price level for one good).

In the face of price changes, the severity (or degree of sensitivity) of the reaction of consumers in the form of changing the amount they buy against this change is measured by the price elasticity of the demand, which is also called demand elasticity. This flexibility is expressed by a coefficient.

The price elasticity coefficient of demand is equal to the ratio of the percentage change in the quantity demanded to the percentage change in price in the face of a small change in price.

The Price elasticity will be elastic when it equals or more than 1, if not it will be inelastic with the amount of less than 1.
