LEED certification
Each is each appeal or each credit/pre-requisite? or both are right?
Context:
If the owner’s team are not satisfied with the LEED assessment, there is an appeal process for up to 3 credits or pre-requisites. Appeals cost $300 each. It is not uncommon to have two or three appeals on a project outside the US. If all pre-requisites are approved, the team can also decide simply to accept a lower score and not appeal any credits.

each appeal
This is what is clearly implied. They can't both be right, since an appeal can be for more than one credit or pre-requisite, and if it is for more than one, then the cost per appeal and the cost per credit/pre-requisite will be different. The following reference to "two or three appeals on a project" shows that there can be more than one appeal, so "each appeal" makes sense. If it meant "each credit or pre-requisite" it would have made this clear. As it stands, "each appeal" is what is clearly understood.
