Oz's Question of the day #74(19/8/09)

[OZXJR]

A woman goes into a hardware store to buy something for her new house. When asked the price, the clerk replies,
"the price of 1 is twelve cents,"
"the price of 44 is twenty-four cents,"
"and the price 144 is thirty-six cents."
What does the woman want to buy?

PM answers please.

Yepper, good question. The 144 threw me off for a while. I kept thinking "How can a gross of something scale up so cheaply?" LOL.
