Hint
Start by looking at the consonants and vowels (AEIOU).
Answer
65 tonnes.
Vowels (AEIOU) are worth 3 and consonants are worth 5, added together and then multiplied by the number of ingots.
So TIN has 1 vowel (worth 3) and 2 consonants (worth 10).
Added gives 13, then multiplied by 5 ingots = 65.
