(In reply to re: Answer is obvious by Penny)

The intended solution is obviously numerals. Would they really charge those amounts for time on a copying machine? Would they, in this puzzle, charge those amounts for time on a copying machine? The answer to the first question is perhaps, and the answer to the second is no.
