In many cities, when someone doesn't pay off an entire fine, the city will add a monthly fee until they do. Watch the video from Last week tonight with john Oliver. Then, imagine Ali gets a $150 ticket for speeding. This time, though, the city adds a $35 fee every month until the ticket is fully paid. Use the table and graph to show what the fine will be, and how much Ali will have saved, after each month. How long will it take to pay off the ticket, and how much will it end up costing in total?

Information : Ali makes $50 in savings a month. Also i need the months of the fee and ali to go up to 12 months. thank youuu
