Name Letters
There
are 29 students in Miss Spelling’s class. As a special holiday gift, she bought
each of them chocolate letters with which they can spell their names.
Unfortunately, some letters cost more than others — for instance, the
letter A, which is in high demand, is rather pricey; whereas the letter Q,
which almost no one wants, is relatively inexpensive.
The
price of the chocolate letters for each student in her class is shown in the
table below.
