4 . Whether it’s a supermarket or a car commercial, many of the prices you experience are likely to have something in common. Prices are more likely to end in .99 more than any other pair of numbers — and certainly more than the even .00. We probably don’t think twice about buying something for $5.99 or $16.99, but it is a little strange when you think about it. Why aren’t prices just even dollar amounts? Is it a carefully organized marketing plan to get you to spend more?

Well, basically … yes. But there’s really nothing that is carefully planned about it. It’s actually pretty simple. “It’s a type of psychological (心理的) pricing,” says Julie Ramhold, a consumer (消费者) expert. “Because we read from left to right, we pay less attention to the end of the number versus the beginning.” This is especially effective if you’re just quickly reading several prices in a row. Therefore, the first number will definitely stand out to you more.

Of course, we still know that $9.99 is basically ten dollars, not nine dollars. But the $.99 trick takes advantage of the way our brains process prices. When we see a price of $9.99, we associate it as part of the $9-$9.99 range rather than the $10-$10.99 range. “Consumers don’t want to go beyond a certain type, so even a penny less may make a huge psychological difference,” explains Subimal Chatterjee, a successful and respected teaching professor of Marketing at Binghamton University School of Management.

This strategy is especially effective when it’s a change in the number of digits (数位). $99.99 is just inside the two-digits range, so it seems like a score … even though you basically are paying a hundred dollars. And, of course, the sellers are getting the most money they possibly could within that lower range, because 99 cents is only a cent below the higher range.

2. What strategy is employed when something sells for $9.99 rather than $10?

3. What is a consumer’s possible reaction to a $99.99 bag?

A．The bag costs not more than $100.
