The vendor could then choose to give you five mangoes a kg when he bought mangoes at Rs25 a kg, he could define a kilogram such that you got just four when the price he faced went up to Rs30 a kg.

Imagine that you are the manager of a school cafeteria. The school offers a wide range of food and beverages. Suppose research shows that no matter what is at the top of the list, the top three items get ordered more than the rest on the menu. If the manager writes out “grilled chicken whole grain sandwiches” at No. 1 “cheese hamburger with fries” at No. 10, more kids will choose the healthier option.
