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

needs, is relatively inexpensive.

The price of the chocolate letters for each student in her class is shown in the table below.
