The concept of demand elasticity gauges the reaction of demand in relation to modifications in price or income. The calculation involves taking the percentage alteration in the quantity demanded and dividing it by the percentage change in price or income. If the elasticity is high, this signifies a notable sensitivity to changes in price or income. Conversely, a low elasticity implies a lack of sensitivity.
