Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a basic service = $24.95

Cost for each additional channel = $6.94

Let the number of premium channels = x

Therefore, the cost of x additional channels =6.94x

Total Cost = 24.95+6.94x

Since Kelly's monthly bill is $45.80

24.95+6.94x = 45.80

6.94x = 45.80 - 24.95

6.94x =20.85

x=20.85/6.94

x = 3

The Kellys are receiving three premium channels.
