I need clarifications on what elastic ans inelastic means with examples please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright elastic refers to goods and services of which the price changes (usually an increase), consumers will respond so they will change consumption to another good or service, for example a sports car because it's not needed. With inelastic goods and services no matter how much price changes (again usually and incease) consumer consumption on it will not change- they will still buy it to satisfy their needs and wants, for example white bread-> it's necessary.
