According to the given data we have the following:

previous balance=$1.30

new balance=$2.05

new balance-previous balance=$2.05-$1.30

new balance-previous balance=$0.75

Therefore, from the day you rent the book until you return it is $0.75.

Therefore if:

5 days overdue___________$0.75

1 day overdue____________x

x= (1 day overdue*$0.75)/5 days overdue

x=$0.15

The charge for one book overdue one day is $0.15
