1999 AHSME Problem 11

The student lockers at Olympic High are numbered consecutively beginning with locker number 1. The plastic digits used to number the lockers cost two cents apiece. Thus, it costs two cents to label locker number 9 and four cents to label locker number 10. If it costs 137.94 to label all the lockers, how many lockers are there at the school?

\mathrm{(A) \ }2001 \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ }2010 \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ }2100 \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ }2726 \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ }6897
