They must by argyle
There is a clothing store in Bartlesville. The owner has devised his own method of pricing items. A vest costs $20, socks cost $25, a tie costs $15 and a blouse costs $30. Using the method, how much would a pair of underwear cost?

I suppose $45 for "underwear"...$5 a letter.
ReplyDeleteSo, a pair of boxers or briefs would only be $30. What a savings!
ReplyDeleteThat better be some good underwear.
ReplyDeletepair of underwear? $75, unless you are out on the town with Paris Hilton
ReplyDelete$45. The pricing method consists of charging $5 for each letter required to spell the item.
ReplyDeleteOr, if they are really good, $75, since 'pair of underwear' is 15 letters! Nice call jonathan.
Unless you're worried about your panty line. ;-)
