Ralph goes to a Home Improvement store. He asks the clerk, "How much is 1?" The clerk replies, "Just 50 cents,sir." Ralph then asks the clerk, "Well, how is 2?" The clerk answers with, "Still, just 50 cents, sir." Then Ralph asks the clerk, "Okay, so how mush is 6?" The clerk smiles and says, "Fifty cents, sir, same as before."

So, if Ralph pays $1.50 for 126, what did he buy?

He purchased the numbers that go on the front of his house. His address is 126 Elm St.
