## What it means for a shop owner

It does not suit every market, since in some places customers prefer round numbers. Try two prices on one item and compare sales. Remember the effect of rounding on cash payments.

## A worked example

You sell a shirt at 19.90 for one week and 20 for the next, then compare the pieces sold in the two weeks.
