reasonably priced (compound adjective)
at a reasonable price / at reasonable prices
for a reasonable fee
用法筆記
Usually appears in the compound adjective 'reasonably priced' or in prepositional phrases such as 'at a reasonable price,' 'at reasonable prices,' or 'for a reasonable fee.' Avoid placing 'reasonably' alone after a verb or object to mean 'at a low cost' — that pattern is unnatural.
