days fine
2 30 cents
3 45 cents
4 60 cents

The table shows the fine owned for an overdue library book according to how many days it is overdue. What is the initial value.

1 answer

The initial value, or the fine for 0 days overdue, would be $0. Since the table only shows fines for overdue books starting from 2 days, we can infer that before any overdue days (0 days), there would be no fine. Thus, the initial value is $0.
