Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The demand is elastic. The formula for the price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in the quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in the price. And, if the elasticity of demand exceeds one, then the demand is elastic. In this case, the percentage change in the quantity demanded is larger than the percentage change in the price, so the elasticity of demand will be greater than one. Hence the demand is elastic.
