You have five pieces of chain, each consisting of three links. You want to make one long chain of these five pieces. Breaking open a link costs 1 $, and welding an open link costs 3 $.

Yes,
take one piece and open all 3 links (3x$1 = $3)
With those 3 open links you can connect the 4 remaining pieces together. (3x$3 = $9)
