Question

Amelia rented a DVD and it was due to be returned on 26 November. She actually returned it to the shop on 12 December. The rental shop applies a fine of 9p for every day the DVD is overdue.
Work out the total fine paid by Amelia. Give your answer in £

Answer 1

Answer:

Total fine paid by Amelia =  £1.44

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of days = 27 November to 12 December

Number of days = 16 days

Per day fine = 9p

Total fine = Per day fine * Number of days

Total fine = 9 * 16

Total fine = 144p

1£ = 100p

144p = $\frac{144}{100}$

144p = £1.44

Hence,

Total fine paid by Amelia =  £1.44
