Before Eid-UL-Fitr, the price of juice was Rs.100 a box in Karachi, and Hayat Khan was willing to buy 10 juice boxes. After the Eid-UL-Fitr holidays, the price has gone up to Rs.120 a box, and Khan is now willing to buy 8 juice boxes. Is khan’s demand for juice boxes, elastic or inelastic? What is Khan’s elasticity of demand? Draw Khan’s demand curve, label everything clearly.
