The library charges $0.50 for each week that a book is overdue. If a library book is 14 weeks overdue, what will the late fee be? Write an equation and find the Fee (f).
$0.50+ f=14 ; f =$13.50
$ 0.50 f = 14.00 ; f = $28
14 / f =$0.50; f =$28
$ 0.5(14) = f ; f =$7.00
1 answer
The correct equation is f = $0.50 * 14, which simplifies to f = $7.00.
