Answer:

Demand is elastic

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

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

60 / 20 = 3

Demand is elastic because the coefficient of elasticity is greater than 3.

This means that a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.
