Please do your own homework.- Welcome to Wikipedia. Your question appears to be a homework question. I apologize if this is a misinterpretation, but it is our aim here not to do people's homework for them, but to merely aid them in doing it themselves. Letting someone else do your homework does not help you learn nearly as much as doing it yourself. Please attempt to solve the problem or answer the question yourself first. If you need help with a specific part of your homework, feel free to tell us where you are stuck and ask for help. If you need help grasping the concept of a problem, by all means let us know.

- One reason: By packaging your homework question to make it look as if it is curiosity-driven, you have a much better chance of getting a useful answer. --Lambiam 14:41, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

- In certain forms shrinkflation, despite selling less of a product, manufacturers keep the packaging at the original size and leave some of the space empty. This wrapping and transportation of air maintains the level of economic activity, which is important to the gross domestic product. Card Zero (talk) 21:22, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
