Answer:

The demand for the product is price inelastic

Step-by-step explanation:

Inelastic demand means a change in the price of a good, will not have a significant effect on the quantity demanded.

Inelastic demand in economics is when people buy about the same amount whether the price drops or rises. As seen in the question, even thought the price was dropped, it doesn't increase the demand for the produce hence the decrease in revenue.
