Answer 1

There was probably a mistake and the person was over charged or the subscription came 10 days before the 15th 

Answer 2

Answer:

The most likely reason for the billing being that amount is that the subscription began about 10 days before the 15th of the month.

Explanation:

The most likely reason for the customer being charged $60.00 for their first month's subscription although it is stated that the monthly rate if $45.00 is due to the day of the month they acquired the subscription. Most probably they got their subscription once the month had already began, and therefore the company is charging the flat monthly rate of $45.00 plus the extra days they have used the subscription as they did not acquired it on the first day of the month. This means that they were charged $45.00 for the first month of service and $15.00 for the 1/3 of the moth they also had the subscription.
