Suppose that the total revenue received by a company selling basketballs is $\$ 600$ when the price is set at $\$ 30$ per basketball and $\$ 600$ when the price is set at $\$ 20$ per basketball. Without using the midpoint formula, can you tell whether demand is elastic, inelastic, or unit-elastic over this price range?
