Question

Rodrigo wanted to buy his wife a pearl necklace for her birthday. Murphy's Jewelry had a necklace he liked for $139, but he bought the same necklace at Pearls for Her. This pearl necklace was originally $173.75, but was on sale for 20% off, which reduced the price to $139. He was very pleased with his bargain. Rodrigo is subject to:

Answer 1

a framing bias.

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

necklace he liked = $139

pearl necklace originally = $173.75

sale for = 20% off

reduced the price = $139

solution

• Rodrigo is subject to readymade bias. This bias refers to how people’s decisions affect situations, words, or settings. Although both stores have the same price, Pearl’s own stores create a relative factor
• It showed a high base price and a 20% discount, which made Rodrigo feel like he was making a deal, so he was more inclined to buy the necklace and not at the Murphy jewelry store.
