Elasticity of Demand VS Inelastic demand

- What is the Elasticity ?
     Elasticity = A measure of responsiveness. ( MEASURE means measure how much of something changes when there is a change in/ of the factors that determine it.)

- Elasticity of Demand = PED ( Price Elasticity Demand)
      Measure how much the quantity demand changes when the P of product.
   
               The equation for it  PED = %ΔQd  /  %ΔP
        when PED = 0 it is perfectly inelastic
     

- Inelastic Deman : PED greater than 0,
                             PED smaller than 1.
         
      A change in the P leads to a proportionally smaller cange in the Qd. ( totally revenue gained by a firm will increase)
         Inelastic D + better Revenue = Raise the P
