A home owner goes to the hardware store to purchase the letters that make up a number for a sign he is making, (e.g., F-O-U-R, N-I-N-E, etc.). When he arrives, other customers are doing the same thing. The first customer buys the letters to display ONE, and pays $40. The next customer buys the letters for the number TWO, and pays $60. The last customer buys the letters for the number ELEVEN, and pays $100. Our home owner wants to buy the letters to spell out TWELVE.
The question is: how much does the home owner pay?
