I believe the answer will be that, the Gold sales will decrease by 80%. (200 × 0.4)
Price elasticity is a measure of the change in the quantity demanded or purchased of a product in relation to its price change. It is the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a good or a service divided by the percentage change in the price. 
That is; Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity/% change in price
