Answer:

The answer is elastic; decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Price elasticity of demand (PED) = %change in QD/ %change in price

PED = (2-1.55/1.55 ) * 100 / (160-220/220) *100 = 1.065

PED is elastic

Total revenue before price change = 1.55*220= $341.00

Total revenue after price change = 2* 160 = $320.00

Total revenue decreased by $21.00
