Question

Adelaide has a credit card with a company that charges $3.00 for every day a payment is late. If she paid $475.62 for a bill that is 8 days late, how much was the bill without the late fee? A. $464.62 B. $451.62 C. $472.62 D. $448.62

Answer 1

Since the payment was 8 days late, it meant that the company charged $3 x 8 = $24 extra.
To find the original bill without the late fee, we deduct the late fee from the amount she paid.
$475.62-$24.00= $451.62
The bill without the late fee is $451.62.
Hence, the answer is Option B.
