A local restaurant advertises that the mode cost of their most popular meals is $8. If the costs of their most popular meals are $7, $8, $8, $12, $13, $15, $17, $18, and $20, which word or phrase best describes this kind of advertising?

This is inaccurate because they tell you the cost and they're trying to fool you

They want to make it look cheap by having two meals with 8 dollars, making it the mode, however, the rest are considerably more expensive.
