It is calculated by dividing the percentage change in quantity demanded by the percentage change in price.

A high elasticity indicates that consumers are price-sensitive and a small price change can lead to a significant change in demand.

Conversely, a low elasticity suggests that consumers are less price-sensitive and demand remains relatively stable despite price changes.
