Prices change because people want things, and sometimes they have more or less of them. Imagine you're selling lemonade on a hot day, more kids come to buy it, so you raise the price. On a cool day, fewer kids come, so you lower the price. That’s like supply and demand in real life!
Examples
- When ice cream is in season, it’s cheaper; when it's not, the price goes up.
- If your favorite toy is popular at school, you might have to pay more for it at the store.
- A pizza shop near a busy street may charge more than one across town because of higher demand.
