Question

Each day that a library book is kept past its due date, a $0.30 fee is charged at midnight. Which ordered pair is a viable solution if x represents the number of the days that a library book is late and y represents the total fee?

Answer 1

(x,0.3*x)

Explanation:

the equation would be 0.3*x=y where x is days and y is total cost. so the ordered pair would be (x,y). swapping 0.3*x for y is where (x,0.3*x) is derived from. Since there will be no negative days and the fee only applies at midnight x must be positive and an integer.

Answer 2

x + $0.30 = y

Explanation:

hope this helps!
