Answer:

Elastic ; greater than 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

Price elasticity of demand = (Percentage change in quantity demanded) ÷ (Percentage change in price) × 100

Since in the question it is given that the percentage change in quantity demanded is more than the percentage change in price that reflects that the price elasticity is elastic that means it is greater than one.
