Answer:

5

Explanation:

First, you would want to subtract the first nights cost from the bill, which you would get 108. And then you would want to divide 108 by how much it costs to stay additional night, so 108 divided by 27 = 4. But you have to remember to add the first night you stayed so it would be 5. I hope this helps :)
