Solution

We are given

Half Life = 18 years

To solve for k

The fine schedule for overdue books at the county library is modeled by the values in the table.
Tasya [4]

Answer:

The answer would be B!

Step-by-step explanation:

In the chart if you divide the number of days over due to the cost of the fine, you get 5/2 every time. therefore, if y is the cost in cents and x is the days overdue, you would multiply x5/2 or y=5/2x, so your answer is B (y=5/2x).  

hoped this helped :D
