Joseph borrowed a book from a library. The library charged a fixed rental for the book and a late fee for every day the book was overdue. The expression below shows the charges Joseph paid for the book when he returned it x days after the due date:

2 + 0.25x

What does the coefficient of the expression represent?

A:The fixed rental for the book
B:The total late fee for the book
C:The late fee per day for the book
D:The number of days the book was overdue

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

the problem says there is a late fee for every day the book is overdue, 'x' represents the days, so multiplying the two together filling in 'x' would give you the total late fee amount.

Answer 2

C. The late fee per day for the book

Explanation:

“ The library charged a fixed rental for the book and a late fee for every day the book was overdue.”
