"Studies have shown that if a price ends with 90 dollars or 900 dollars, it will sell 8% more than if it ends in a rounded number."

I wonder if the above sentence is correct. If it is not correct, would you pinpoint the errors? Or if it is right, would you paraphrase it?

Hi Chan-Seung Lee,

The sentence is correct. You might want to say it in a more concise way:

Studies have shown that if prices end with 99, the products would sell 8% more.
