When the Price of Milk Goes Up, Demand Does Not

question 51

True/False

When the price of milk goes up, demand does not fall significantly, because people still need to buy milk. However, if the price of T-bone steaks rises beyond a certain point, people will buy fewer of them because they can turn to the many substitutes for this cut of meat. This demonstrates price elasticity of demand.
