Imagine you have a bag of candies, and only one is chocolate, everyone wants that candy. That’s like why some things are expensive: when lots of people want something rare, it costs more. If there were a million chocolates, no one would pay much for one. But with just one, it becomes special.
Examples
- A chocolate bar costs $1, but a diamond ring might cost thousands because only a few people can own one.
- Everyone wants to buy the same toy at the store, so it’s expensive until more are made.
