Question

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?
(1 point)
cents

Answer 1

this is wrong

Answer 2

The initial value is 15 cents.

This can be found by subtracting the fine on the first day (30 cents) from the fine on the second day (45 cents).

45 cents - 30 cents = 15 cents.

Answer 3

I apologize for the mistake. Let's reevaluate.

Looking at the table, we can see that for each additional day overdue, the fine increases by 15 cents.

Therefore, the initial value would be the fine for a book that is overdue by 0 days. In this case, it would be 15 cents.

So, the correct initial value is 15 cents.
