    Inelastic

    Explanation:

    Price Elasticity of demand is the a measure which is used to show the responsiveness of the quantity to its price.

    Price Elasticity of demand = Change in quantity / Change in price

    % Change in quantity = (45,000 - 35,000) / 45,000 = 22.22%

    % Change in price = (20 - 30) / 20 = - 50%

    Price Elasticity of demand = Change in quantity / Change in price

    Price Elasticity of demand = 22.22% / - 50% = - 0.4444

    As the answer is less than 1 so, demand is Inelastic.
