Explanation:

The substitution effect of a price change is felt more when a good or service has a competent substitute that will serve similar or exactly the same purpose that the good or service serves.

The change in the price of good or service will affect the demand of such good or service and this can be in two ways. the demand will go up if the price of the good or service is at a lower price while the demand of the good or service will be decreased if the price of the good is a t higher price.

The substitution effect of a price is also seen as the reaction of  buyers/consumers towards the change in prices of goods and services which have competent substitutes in the market.
