Answer:

Elastic

Step-by-step explanation:

Elasticity = 25% / 20% = 1.25

The demand is elastic .

Demand is elastic if the coefficient of elasticity is greater than 1.

If demand is elastic, it means a change in price leads to a greater change in the quantity demanded.

I hope my answer helps you
