These don't make sense to me:
<i>Greeting telegram on a special code;50 cents
Ordinary telegram costs shs 3 for 10 words and each extra word at 30 cents. </i>

What does "on a special code;50 cents" mean?
What does "shs 3 for 10 words" mean?

Clean it up and re-post, and a math tutor may be able to help you.

I think they mean prices @Writeacher

Jakie, that could be. However, the person posting the original question needs to make everything crystal clear so the math tutors understand it without having to guess.
