A bike rental company charges a 17% late fee whenever a bike is returned late. If the regular rental is $65, but you return a bike late, what is the late fee, and what is the total that you have to pay?

Answer:

The late fee is 11.05 dollars

The total is 76.05 dollars

Explanation:

17% is 0.17 of the whole.

When you need to calculate the fee, you just multiply 65*0.17

You will get 11.05 dollars.

To calculate the total you add regular rental + fee (65+11.05)
