Assume that the price of chewing gum is $2 and the quantity demanded at that price was 1,000 units. When the price of chewing gum decreases to $1.60 the quantity demanded increases to 1,200. Using the mid-point method, we can say that the demand for chewing gum is Oa.unit elastic. Ob.perfectly inelastic. Oc. elastic. Od. inelastic.
