Look at the demand curve in Figure 6.2a. Use the midpoint formula and points a and b to calculate the elasticity of demand for that range of the demand curve. Do the same for the demand curves in Figures 6.2b and 6.2c using, respectively, points c and d for Figure 6.2b and points e and f for Figure 6.2c.

What Is Elasticity of Demand?
Think back to our discussions of changes in total revenue and price and how the concept of elasticity was used. When a firm decreases price and demand is elastic, the percentage change in quantity demanded will be A) ______________ (greater than / less than) the percentage change in price. Therefore, revenue will B) ______________ (increase / decrease). If the demand is inelastic, total revenue will C) ______________ (increase / decrease) when price decreases.
