When the local pizza parlor prices pizzas at $12 each, it generally sells 7000 pizzas per month. If it lowers the price to $10, sales increase to 9000 pizzas per month. Given this information, we know that the price elasticity of demand for pizza is about 1.38, and an increase in price from $10 to $12 results in a decrease in total revenue. 0.72, and an increase in price from $10 to $12 results in an increase in total revenue. 0.72, and an increase in price from $10 to $12 results in a decrease in total revenue. 1.38, and an increase in price from $10 to $12 results in an increase in total revenue.
