Price by Pattern

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?

$45

Prices are $5 per letter in the item’s name:

  • vest (4) → $20, socks (5) → $25, tie (3) → $15, blouse (6) → $30.
    “underwear” has 9 letters → 9 × $5 = $45.
