Solution

The demand for movie tickets is inelastic. This is because a decrease in quantity demanded (30%) led to an increase in total revenue (10%). Inelastic demand occurs when the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price. In this case, the increase in total revenue despite the decrease in quantity demanded indicates that the price increase had a greater impact, thus the demand is inelastic.
