Bread. The French working class lived on bread. Through most of the eighteenth century a workman's wage was just enough to buy the quantity of bread that would keep him and his wife alive and strong enough to work. If the price of bread went up, the quantity went down. When it doubled, his rations were halved. If the price wet down, he could afford meat once a week, and children. If the price went up after the children were weaned ( much later than now, up to four years), the children starved.

If the elasticity for computers at the current price is at 6.4 what would happen to total revenues if a computer manufacturer doubled its price?

If the elasticity for computers is 6.4, it indicates that the demand for computers is highly elastic. This means that a price increase would lead to a proportionally larger decrease in quantity demanded. Therefore, if a computer manufacturer doubled its price, total revenues would decrease significantly, as the loss in sales volume would outweigh the gains from the higher price.
