Question

a $050 service charge. A book is 7 days late
How much money is owed?
Write a algebraic expression and evaluate​

Answer 1

y = 0.50 + 0.25x

y = 2.25

Explanation:

`y = 0.50 + 0.25x\\x = 7\\y = 0.50 + 0.25(7)\\y = 0.50 + 1.75\\y = 2.25`

where y is the money owed, and x is the number of days a book is late.
