Answer :
Answer:
the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price (in absolute value).
Explanation:
Inelastic demand is when the demand for a product remains relatively constant, even if its price changes. Goods and services considered essential have inelastic demand. Foods stuff and petrol will have a constant demand regardless of their price levels.
A small percentage change in the price of an inelastic good or service will have minimal changes in its demand. For example, drinking water is an essential commodity. A small change in its price will not have any significant change in demand because people will need to drink water regardless of its price. Therefore, a small percentage change in price causes a lesser percentage change in quantity demanded.
