Question

At Lauren's school library, students are allowed to have a balance of no less than -$12 and still check out books. Five days ago, Lauren's balance was $0, but now she owes for her books that are five days late. If the total charge on her checked out books is $2 per day and she turns them in today, can she still check out books?

Answer 1

Yes because the fee will be $2×5(Days)=10 so she can still check out books but she can't have anymore late

Answer 2

Yes, because -$2 x $5 = $-10 and the balance is over -$12
