Question

Ellen wrote 18 checks in May. The first five checks had no fee.

The bank charged $0.25 for the remaining checks written that
month. The monthly service charge on the account is $5.
What is the total amount of fees Ellen paid in May on her
checking account?

Answer 1

$8.25
The first 5 checks are free so you can subtract the 5 from 18 which is 13. Then you multiply 13 & .25 which is equal to $3.25 and then you just add the $5
