Answer: Inelastic, Elastic

Explanation:

Demand for a good is inelastic when it is less than 1 and elastic when it is greater than 1.

Economists claim that for United States the elasticity is 0.5 that is the demand for gasoline is inelastic.  

Capacity metro increases price from $2.00 to $2.21 as a result demand falls from 70,000 rides to 61,000 rides.  

e= \frac{70,000 - 61,000}{70,000} * \frac{2.00}{2.21 - 2.00}

= = \frac{9,000}{70,000}*\frac{2}{0.21}

=1.22

Demand for capacity metro rides is elastic.
