Boxes
Measurement
1. group 13 boxes cost 10 + 130 = 140
2. group 12 boxes cost 10.2 + 120 = 140
3. group 11 boxes cost 10.3 + 110 = 140
4. group 10 boxes cost 10.4 + 100 = 140
5. group 9 boxes cost 10.5 + 90 = 140
6. group 8 boxes cost 10.6 + 80 = 140
7. group 8 boxes cost 10.7 + 80 = 150
8. group 7 boxes cost 10.8 + 70 = 150
9. group 6 boxes cost 10.9 + 60 = 150
10. group 5 boxes cost 10.10 + 50 = 150
11. group 4 boxes cost 10.11 + 40 = 150
12. group 3 boxes cost 10.12 + 30 = 150
13. group 2 boxes cost 10.13 + 20 = 150
14. group 1 boxes cost 10.14 + 10 = 150
15. group 1 boxes cost 10.14 + 10 = 150
The boxes are divided into 15 groups as above. The cost for each group is
calculated as the total measurement cost and the value of the boxes
destroyed. There is no need to measure the last box. If other
measurements come out clean, it is destroyed without measuring.
If the contaminated box is in one of the first six groups, the cost is 140 TL.
If it is in one of the other groups, the cost is 150 TL.
