Grammar How-To.

What is the correct form of this sentance, if this isn't already correct? ...

"..services at $0.80 per word, or $100 - whichever is greater."

It looked right to begin with, but then I toyed with;

"..services at $0.80 per word, or $100, whichever is greater."

and..

"..services at $0.80 per word or $100, whichever is greater."

.. But can't figure out which (if any) are correct.

I would say the last one is correct. But that's just my $0.02

I believe the third suggestion or no comma at all would be correct

...Services at $100 for up to 125 words, $.80 a word after.

I got this from my community newspaper. They were $5 for up to ten words, $0.50 a word after. You'll notice that they all add up to $.50 a word so it's the same way what RP want with a minimum of $100 (125 words at $.80 a word). At least I think that's what he want.
