The Bayside Bugle charges by the word to run automotive ads. The newspaper charges $18 for the first 20 words and $0.35 for each additional word. How much
would a 27-word ad cos?

$20.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Bayside Bugle charges $18 for the first 20 words and there is more than 20 words in the ad you take 27-20 and you get 7 additional words.

Now we know that we already have to pay $18 for the first $20 words.

Since we have 7 additional words we multiply that by 0.35 cents and you get $2.45.

Next we add up our two numbers (2.45+18) we get the total of $20.45 fro a 27-word ad.

I hope this helps :)
