Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.<br \/><br \/>Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists\u2019 interpretation of the studies?\u00a0<br \/><br \/>A. The effect noted in the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards.\u00a0<br \/>B. Patrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.<br \/>C. In virtually all of the cases in the studies, the patrons who paid bills in cash did not possess credit cards.<br \/>D. In general, restaurant patrons who pay their bills in cash leave larger tips than do those who pay by credit card.<br \/>E. The percentage of restaurant bills paid with a given brand of credit card increases when that credit card\u2019s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is prepared.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/studies-in-restaurants-show-that-the-tips-left-by-customers-who-pay-th-200170.html\">Question Discussion &amp; Explanation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Correct Answer<\/strong>\u00a0-\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">B<\/span>\u00a0-\u00a0(click and drag your mouse to see the answer)<\/p>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/between-the-eighth-and-eleventh-centuries-a-d-the-4507.html\">Bonus RC Question of the Day<\/a><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmatclub.com\/forum\/pythagurus-mba-consulting-scholarships-for-top-mba-applicants-291861.html\"><strong>Like these questions?<\/strong>\u00a0Get the\u00a0<strong>GMAT Club CAT\u2019s<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quant If and are consecutive integers () and , then which of the following must be true?
