In other words, the unit elastic demand implies that the percentage change in quantity demanded is exactly the same as the percentage change in price.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unitary elastic demand is a type of demand which changes in the same proportion to its price. It means that the percentage change in demand is exactly equal to the percentage change in price.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unit elastic demand is the economic theory that assumes a change in product price causes an equal and proportional change in the quantity demanded. In other words, the percentage change in demand for the product is equal to the percentage change in price.
