Scenario #1: Price increased.
Lets suppose a 100 g bar costs 1.00 . If we increase the price by

Decimal

1
the new price would be
10

1.10. So you are selling chocolate now at 0.011 per gram.

Scenario #2: Weight decreased.
1
Same bar, same price. If we decrease the weight by
the new weight would be 90 g, so
10
youd be selling chocolate now at 0.011111111111 per gram.
Conclusion: Therefore, from a manufacturers point of view, decreasing the weight is the best
bussines proposition.
