A certain library charges a late fee of $0.05 for each day that a book is

late. Last month, 158 people returned books that were 7 days late.
This month, 40 less people than last month will return books that are 7
days late. How much will the library collect in late fees this month for
returned books that are overdue by 7 days?

Answer: $41.3

Explanation:

this month late = 158 - 40 = 118

7× $0.05 = $0.35

118 × $0.35 = $41.3
