Answer 1

Answer:

e. fall; greater than; falls

Explanation:

Demand is price elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded. The coefficient of elasticity is usually greater than one which indicates that the percentage change in quantity demanded is greater than the percentage change in price.

Elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded/ percentage change in price

If demand is elastic, an increase in price leads to a fall in quantity demanded and total revenue falls.
