x is the independent variable, and in this scenario, the independent variable is the number of days overdue. So the best equation would be where x is the number of days overdue, and y is the cost in cents.
Example equation:
x = number of days overdue
y = cost in cents
z = total price
z = yx
9 - 6 = 3
so 3 + 6 = 9 which is an addition equation that helps you find the answer.
Not sure however I keep getting 1
Y = 12.1% x 13 + 351
y= 0.012 x 13 + 351
y= 1.573 + 351
y= 352.573 or $352.6
