To calculate the total fines Antonio will pay for his overdue books, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Total fines} = \text{Number of books} \times \text{Overdue days} \times \text{Fine per day}
\]

In this case:

- Number of books = 2
- Overdue days = 12
- Fine per day = $0.15

Now, plug in the values:

\[
\text{Total fines} = 2 \times 12 \times 0.15
\]

Calculating it step by step:

1. \(2 \times 12 = 24\)
2. \(24 \times 0.15 = 3.60\)

Therefore, Antonio will pay **$3.60** in fines.
