    1) The demand will decrease by 37% as a result of a 10% increase in price:

    0.10 x - 3.7 = - 0.37 a ngevative impact in the maginitude of 37%

    2) Revneue will fall

    3) The decrease in revenues will be for 30.7%

    Explanation:

    Revenues Price x Quantity

    P (1 + 0.1) Q (1 - 0.37) = (1.1) (0.63) = 0.693

    we apply to the price the 10% increase

    and we apply to the demand the 37% decrease in quantity

    The revenue will fall to 0.693 = 69.3%

    100 - 69.3 = 30.7%
