Freeze Ice Cream Shop sells its specialty shakes for $3.50 each. In the summer months, the shop typically sells 200 shakes a day
mamaluj [8]

As a result of the demand increasing only slightly compared to the reduction in price, the demand must be <u>inelastic</u>.

<h3>Why is the demand inelastic?</h3><h3 />

The demand is considered to be inelastic if the price elasticity is less than 1.

The price elasticity is:

= (%Change in quantity/% Change in price)

Solving gives:

= 15 / 200 ÷ 0.50 / 3.50

= -0.525

In conclusion, the demand for the shakes is inelastic.
