Inelastic

Explanation:

In this example, we learn that Mark's revenue increased when the price of the apples rose. This means that the demand for Mark's gourmet apples must be inelastic. The elasticity of demand refers to the degree to which demand responds to a change in another economic factor. Elastic demand exists when the changes in demand follow the changes in price. Inelastic demand occurs when consumers do not significantly change their habits, regardless of changes in price.

so for 24 people, you'll need 15 lbs of apples, and 6 cups of flour.
