Imagine you’re buying a toy that costs $19.99 instead of $20, it feels cheaper, even though the difference is just one penny! People like even numbers because they feel easier to work with and more friendly. When businesses use even numbers, they make customers happy without spending much more.
Examples
- A toy store sells a robot for $9.99 instead of $10.
- A pizza shop offers a family meal at $14.95 instead of $15.
- A shirt costs $19.99, but it feels like you’re saving money.
