Suppose in a movie complex we are selling popcorns, One small bucket is priced at 99 and one large bucket is priced at 299. Now according to our research 90% of people go for 99 small bucket. Now that creates a loss to us. Now try a new idea. Keep a medium bucket priced at 235. Now 80% people will opt for large bucket. How did this happen.
