Question

The library charges a fine each day that a book is late. If Ben recently paid a $3.77 fine for a book that was 13 days late, what is the daily fine?

Answer 1

To work out how much the library charges each day you will need to do:

$3.77 ÷ 13 = $0.29

Therefore the daily fine for a book that is late would be $0.29.

If you need to check whether you got the right answer you would do

$0.29 x 13= $3.77

I hope this helps.
