Answer: Inelastic; decreased; $50

Step-by-step explanation:

Demand is considered Inelastic when a change in price does not correspond to a substantial change in quantity demanded as was the situation in the scenario.

The total Revenue decreased because originally it was,

= 16 * 200

= $3,200

After the price dropped it became,

= 14* 225

= $3,150

It DECREASED by $50.
