Question

A homeowners’ association charges a $3.85 fee for each day your payment is late. If a bill was originally $98.75 and paid 13 days late, then how much is owed to the homeowners’ association?

Answer 1

$148.80

Explanation:

Find how much was charged extra with the late fee. Multiply 13 by 3.85:

13(3.85)

= 50.05

Add this to the original amount of the bill:

98.75 + 50.05

= 148.8

So, the amount owed is $148.80
