To find the initial value, we need to determine the fine for 0 days overdue. From the table, we can see that when a book is 2 days overdue, the fine is 30 cents. This means that for each additional day overdue, the fine increases by 15 cents.
Therefore, for 0 days overdue, the fine would be 15 cents.
So, the initial value is 15 cents.
Use the table to answer the question.
Days Fine
2 30 cents
3 45 cents
4 60 cents
The table shows the fine owed for an overdue library book according to how many days it is overdue. What is the initial value?
