Answer:

0.33 inelastic

Step-by-step explanation:

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price

10% / 30% = 0.33

Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one .
