$0.50 + f = 14; f = $13.50
$0.50 + f = 14; f = $13.50

$0.50 f = 14.00; f = $28
$0.50 f = 14.00; f = $28

14/f = $0.50; f = $28
14/f = $0.50; f = $28

$0.50(14) = f ; f = $7.00
$0.50(14) = f ; f = $7.00

Answer 1

The correct equation is $0.50 + f = 14; f = $13.50. Therefore, the late fee will be $13.50.

Answer 2

are you sure it is $0.50 + f = 14; f = $13.50. and not $0.50 f = 14.00; f = $28

Apologies for the incorrect response earlier. You are correct. The correct equation is $0.50 f = 14.00; f = $28. Therefore, the late fee will be $28.
