Sometimes, companies charge different prices for the same product because they know some people are willing to pay more than others. Imagine you're at a toy store: one kid buys a video game for $60, and another buys it for just $30, both got the same game, but paid different amounts. The store knows that some kids have more money or want the game right now, so they charge them more.
Examples
- A toy store sells the same action figure for $10 to one kid and $20 to another.
- You buy a coffee from your local café, while someone else buys it for twice the price at the same time.
- A phone company charges you more for the same plan because you’re not a student.
