The address of the house on Jalan Bahagia will be numbered with the following rules: $\bullet$ One side of the road is numbered with consecutive even numbers starting from number $2$. $\bullet$ The opposite side is numbered with an odd number starting from number $3$. $\bullet$ In a row of even numbered houses, there is some land vacant house that has not been built. $\bullet$ The first house numbered $2$ has a neighbor next door. When the RT management ordered the numbers of the house, it is known that the cost of making each digit is $12.000$ Rp. For that, the total cost to be incurred is $1.020.000$ Rp.
