There is a shop that reads:
Buy 1 for $1.00
10 for $2.00
100 for $3.00
I needed 913 and still only paid $3.00. How could this be financially viable for the shop-keeper?

1 for $1.00
10 for $2.00 = 1 for $0.20
100 for $3.00 = 1 for $0.03

It wouldn't be viable for him to even sell product like this, because the more people bought in bulk, the more he would be losing.
(Worked retail, and honestly, a business would go under with prices like these)

Final Answer: Trick Question, it's not viable at all.

At this conversion rate, to buy 913 for 3.00, you'd need to by each at:

1 for $0.0033 roughly.
