The elasticity of demand for tissues is 0.66. This means the demand for tissues is
A
elastic
B
unit elastic
C
inelastic
D
really expensive
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, a product’s price elasticity of demand equal to 0.6 means that the demand is inelastic (since the elasticity is less than 1). An increase in the price by 1% would reduce the quantity demanded by 0.6%.

Detailed explanation-2: -The price elasticity of demand for a good is given as-0.67, which shows the inelasticity of the demand curve to the price change.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: If the price elasticity of demand for a good is 0.75, the demand for the good can be described as A. elastic.

Detailed explanation-4: -A-0.5-income elasticity means that demand is relatively inelastic. This happens in the case of a good that needs to be bought regardless of price.
