According to the midpoint method, the price elasticity of demand between points A and B is approximately Suppose the price of bikes is currently $200 per bike, shown as point A on the initial graph. Because the demand between points A and B is a $25-per-bike decrease in price will lead to in total revenue per day. In general, in order for a price increase to cause a decrease in total revenue, demand must be
