A hardware shop owner is setting up his store before opening and hangs a sign advertising: 1 for 10 cents, 15 for 20 cents and 110 for 30 cents. What is he selling?
(In reply to
re: Solution by Penny)
What if he were stocking it to draw people to come (a loss leader) in the hopes that the customer will buy additional (profitable) items?
Or perhaps, he just hopes that the customer will buy lots of them?
Or what if it were many years ago (and 10 cents was worth more)?
