Question

A local newspaper charges $15.00 for a three-line ad. They charge an additional $3.00 for

every additional line. How much does a five-line ad cost?

Answer 1

Answer: $21.00

Step-by-step explanation:

The original price is $15.00 for a three-line ad. If you want to know how much a five-line ad costs, you need to add two more lines. Since every additional line is $3.00, adding two lines would cost $3.00 * 2 = $6.00. Now add this price to the original and you have $15.00 + $6.00 = $21.00.
