Question

Write an equation using “” and then solve the equation. The late fee for each day is $2. A patron paid $72 for books that are overdue for 9 days.

Answer 1

Pretty simple equation, where we need to find the number of books. If it is 2$ each day per book
72/9 = 8$ per day is the late fee paid
So if each book is 2$, then we can assume
8/2 = 4 books

So equation is
“# books = (amount paid)/(days * per day payment)”
