When sending a letter, Bobby pays a fixed amount for letters weighing up to an ounce. He then pays a smaller, fixed amount for each additional ounce (or part of an ounce). The cost of sending the letter in cents is modeled by the function y = 30 + 20(x - 1), where x is the weight of the letter in ounces. What does the number 20 describe?
