The full question is:
Jo is a candid and honest individual. She holds the belief that her staff shares the same honesty and straightforwardness, overlooking any indications that they might be deceiving her. Which perceptual shortcut is Jo most likely employing? a. prototypingb. contrast effect c. halo effect d. stereotyping e. projection
Answer:
Projection
Explanation:
Psychological projection is an unconscious tendency where a person ascribes their own qualities to others. This can manifest as either positive or negative projection.
In Jo's situation, her own honesty and straightforwardness lead her to assume the same about those around her. Consequently, she fails to recognize signs of dishonesty that suggest she is being manipulated.
I believe the answer is C, though I'm unsure.
To work this out, we have to reverse the steps:
After the July discount of 50%, the price of the jeans is $25.50
Thus, the original price before this discount was 2 * $22.50 = $45
In June, the cost was decreased by 25%.
45 ------------------75%
x --------------------100 %
45: x = 75: 100
45 * 100 = 75 x
4,500 = 75 x
x = 4,500: 75
x = $60
Finally, in May the jeans were priced at 250% of their wholesale cost.
60 ----------------- 250%
x -------------------100 %
60: x = 250: 100
6,000 = 250x
x = 6,000: 250
x = $24
Conclusion: The wholesale cost of the jeans was $24.
Bragmore ought to lend his extra set of goggles to his main competitor Aprince and engage in fair play.
Explanation:
Success is significant in competition; however, what matters more is fairness and competing vigorously with rivals, giving everyone equal opportunities to showcase their strengths and abilities. Although withholding goggles from his main competitor might enhance Bragmore's chances of easily winning and securing the cash prize, that wouldn't constitute a fair competition. Therefore, he should compete by providing equal chances for his competitor and lend them his spare goggles.
