Use the table to answer the question. Days 2 3 4. Fine 30 cents 45 cents 60 cents. The table shows the fine owed for an overdue library book according to how many days it is overdue. What is the initial value? (1 point) ___ cents.
the answer is 0
Based on the information given in the table, we can see that the fine increases by an additional 15 cents for each additional day that the book is overdue. To determine the initial value, we need to find the fine for day 1, which is not given in the table.
Since each additional day adds 15 cents to the fine, we can subtract 15 cents from the fine for day 2 to find the fine for day 1.
Fine for day 1 = Fine for day 2 - 15 cents = 30 cents - 15 cents = 15 cents.
Therefore, the initial value is 15 cents.
