Story:
You go to a restaurant called "Likeable Alb's" to eat some of their world-famous chips. You sit down in your chair. Some time later, the waiter comes and hands you the menu. The menu contains how much money it will cost to buy certain amounts of chips. "Alright then" you say, as you look at the menu. The menu reads as the following:
$------------------------------------$
1 chip for $1
5 chips for $5
25 chips for $15
80 chips for $40
400 chips for $100
900 chips for $250
2,000 chips for $500
10,000 chips for $1,500
We will, though, give you any amount of chips, as long as it's between 1 and 10,000, and it will be a specific price that we can calculate for you.
$------------------------------------$
You decide that you don't want to have any of these. You want 300 chips, so that's what you order. The chips are delicious, but when you finally get the bill, you look at the cost and are very confused.
Problem:
When you looked at your bill, what made you so confused? Why?
