£1.70
£1.70?
If you are buying numbers (for your door or something), 1 costs £1.70, 10 (two numbers) costs £3.40 and 100 costs £5.10
Riddles site will love this one
surely 10 items for 3.40 then one would cost 34p and if 100 cost 5.10 then one costs 5.1p so its far cheaper to buy 100.
The wording of the question does not help. "If 10 costs £3.40 and 100 costs £5.10, how much does 1 cost?" makes it clearer.
I agree with the £1.70 answer. ;-)
I agree with TheOtherHalf but it seems too simple for that to be the answer. Is it a trick question? Very interesting!!
Valanne is correct. See my post above about the wording.
furrypusscat - yes it's a trick - scotmans answer is correct, valanne explains it above
I still dont understand it :>(
This is actually a very old quiz question. As has been stated the text 'of something' is an unnecessary obfuscation which may be deliberate.
but they don't say that two of them cost 3.40, they say ten of them do.
TOH...

You would be buying these at £1.70 each

oh, i get it now. the 'or something' doesn't make sense at all.
I see the explanation now. I must admit though it would have 'tricked' me.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh, the pennys dropped now Good one gromit
