If demand for a good or service remains unchanged even when the price changes, demand is said to be
inelastic.
If demand for a good or service changes when the price changes, demand is said to be elastic.
Jack's demand is elastic because he buys petrol based on his ability to pay so fluctuation in price will

much, so he’ll tend to buy same quantity of petrol no matter the price, hence his demand is inelastic.
