If the % change in quantity demanded is less than the % change in price it has a minor effect. In this case demand is not very responsive to a change in price. It is called inelastic! Mr Jon Link told me! :)

What is meant by price inelastic?
Price inelastic means that the supply or demand of a product or service is unaffected by any changes in the price.
Is coal elastic or inelastic?
There are 2 different types price elasticity of demand and price elasticity of supply. If you meant to ask is demand for coal price elastic on inelastic, answer is yes, it is price inelastic. The demand for coal, is unlikely to drop much even if the price of it increases, it can be said that it is a 'necessity'. Since the quantity demanded decreases less than proportionate than the increase in price, it is said to be price inelastic.
When the price of a good will cause total revenue to fall if price elasticity of demand is elastic or inelastic?
when price changes it is called inelastic demand and when quantity of demand change that is called elastic of demand.
Is the price and demand for junk food elastic or inelastic?
elastic
If the demand for a good is inelastic and the price of the good decreases?
Increase. Inelastic demand means that most consumers will continue to buy a good regardless of price.

What is a price cut when the demand for a normal good is price inelastic?
Demand is inelastic when changes the in price of a commodity do not effect (or have very little effect) the quantity of that product demanded. For most commodities, demand decreases with price increases and demand increases with price decreases.
Draw a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?
A perfectly inelastic demand curve will be completely horizontal and means that consumers would any price for a particular good, which is almost impossible. The closer to being horizontal a demand curve is, the more inelastic the demand.
When is a demand curve described as price inelastic?
boobs
Show a demand curve illustrating price inelastic demand and explain how the curve relates to the definition of price elasticity of demand?
See the related link. A perfectly inelastic demand would be a line straight up and down. That would show that demand is constant regardless of the price.
Inelastic demand curve?
Inelastic demand means a situation in which the demand for a product does not increase or decrease correspondingly with a fall or rise in its price. From the supplier's viewpoint, this is a highly desirable situation because price and total revenue are directly related; an increase in price increases total revenue despite a fall in the quantity demanded. An example of a product with inelastic demand is gasoline. Refer to link below.
Is price elasticity of demand considered elastic or inelastic with food?
price elasticity of food would be inelastic, as there are no substitutes and food is a necessity.
