Sengupta From India
Each of the six friends Alex, Barry, Chris, Derek, Elmer and Frank visited their friendly neighborhood department store to purchase a particular item and the respective amounts by which they fell short of the price of the item was $ 30, $ 29, $ 28, $ 26, $ 24 and $ 23. Even when the six friends pooled their finances together, they did not have enough money to buy the item.
Given that each of the six friends had an integer number of dollars in their possession, what was the price of the item?
