The demand for gas for tom is INELASTIC PRICE.

Inelasticity is a situation when the requested quantity

does not change (remains the same), when the price changes. It can be seen from Tom ordering the right
amount of gas without wondering (or caring) about what the price is. That means he needs 10 liters of gas
regardless of price. That means that even if prices go up, Tom will still buy the same amount of gas as
before. Whereas Jerry has $ 10 to spend on gas and he needs as much gas as he can buy this $ 10,
therefore, if, say gas prices rise by 10%, to stay within his budget, he will buy 10% less gas because that,
Jessie's gas demand is an ELASTIC PRICE

rice elasticity of demand at the current fare?

change in quantity = (25.000-500)/((25000-500)/2)

= 24.500/12.250

=2%

change in price = (80-1)/((80-1)/2)

= 79/39,5

=2%

price elasticity of demand = (2%)/(2%) = 1 

Demand has an unitary elasticity at the chosen quantity then a moderate percentage change in the price
will be offset by an equal percentage change in the quantity. So the company will earn the same revenue
whether it moderately increases or decreases the price.

Revenue is maximized when the elasticity is equal to one, the current fare will make maximum revenue.
