Answer:

The elasticy of demand is 0.54 so it is inelastic

Explanation:

The midpoint method use the average percentage change in both quantity and price.

The fromula is ((Q2-Q1)/((Q2+Q1)/2))/((P2-P1)/((P2+P1)/2))

Q is quantity and P is price

((300-250)/((300+250)/2))/((1.25-1.75)/((1.25+1.75)/2))=0.54

The demand is inelastic, that means that the porcentage in the increase in quantity is minor than the percentage in the reduction of the price. So total revenues decrease.
