Question

1. In trying to decrease the number of overdue books, your school library has revised its system of fines. They are going to give students one day "grace" to return books on time. They plan to charge $0.25 for the second day a book is late, $0.20 for the third day a book is late and $0.10 for each additional day. Using your table created from the Closing Questions in Assignment 02.04, what is the late fee for returning a school library book 10 days late? $0.95 $1.15 $1.25 $1.35

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore the correct option is b.) $1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

i) the book is 10 days late

ii) there is one day grace

iii) on the second day there is a fine of $0.25

iv) on the third day there is a fine of $0.20

v) for each of the remaining 7 days there is a fine of $0.10 for each day

  therefore the total fine for the remaining seven days is = 7 $\times$ $0.10 =

   $0.70

vi) therefore the total fine for the book is = $0.25 + $0.20 + $0.70 = $1.15

Therefore the correct option is b.) $1.15
