All the workers know is that Alejandro, Faye, Yvette, Sophie, and Zachary could have each bought butterflies that cost $60, $75, $90, $105, or $120. Each could have bought the Clearwing, the Emperor, the Grayling, the Swallowtail, or the Torturix butterflies. Each butterfly could have lived in Australia, Jordan, Luxembourg, Panama, or Qatar.
