Every, each and all
a. I will give you every one of them for fifteen pounds.
b. I will give you all of them for fifteen pounds.
c. I will give you each one of them for fifteen pounds.
It seems to me that in (b) the whole batch costs fifteen pounds and in (c) the price of every single one is fifteen pounds. Am I correct so far?
And what about (a)? I can't figure out what that means really.
Many Thanks.

I think the sentence A mean the sentence C because we have " every one " is seems to be "each one".

I agree with MM - A and B are virtually the same and C means the entire lot for the one given price.
