Question

A "No Valid Permit Displayed" citation costs $100 (base payment). If 7 days pass after this citation was issued, how much would a violator have to pay in total?

Answer 1

After 7 days, a violator would have to pay $135 for a 'No Valid Permit Displayed' citation, which includes the $100 base payment and an additional $35 for the late payment charges.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a 'No Valid Permit Displayed' citation costs $100 and the charge for late payment increases by $5 a day after the initial 7 days, then we can calculate the total amount due after 7 days. The initial base payment is $100, and for every day that passes after the issuance of the citation, an additional $5 is added to the total cost.

For 7 days, the calculation would be:

• 7 days x $5/day = $35
• Base payment + Late payment = Total payment
• $100 + $35 = $135

Therefore, after 7 days, a violator would have to pay a total of $135.
