Use the table to answer the question.
Days Fine
2 30 cents
3 45 cents
4 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?
To find the initial value, we need to determine the fine for 0 days overdue. From the table, we can see that when a book is 2 days overdue, the fine is 30 cents. This means that for each additional day overdue, the fine increases by 15 cents.
Therefore, for 0 days overdue, the fine would be 15 cents.
So, the initial value is 15 cents.
