Question

A local coupon mailer charges $11 for each of the first three lines of an ad, and $5 for each additional line. What is the price of a 5-line ad?

Answer 1

A. They only ask for 2 so 11*2=$22.00

B. So we know first 3 lines is 33 and we need 5. And it’s $5 for extra so

33+5+5=$43.00

Explanation:

Answer 2

$43

Explanation:

There are 5 lines in the ad in total.

It costs $11 for each of the first three lines which gives us:

3 x 11 = $33

There are now 2 lines left. Each additional line apart from the first three costs $5 extra. This gives us:

2 x 5 = $10

If we add the original $33 with the extra $10, we get a grand total of $43.
