THIS IS THE COMPLETE QUESTION BELOW;

Each day that a library book is kept past its due date, a $0.30 fee is charged at midnight. Which ordered pair is a viable solution if x represents the number of days that a library book is late and y represents the total fee?

Answers:

(–3, –0.90)

(–2.5, –0.75)

(4.5, 1.35)

(8, 2.40)

Answer

(8, 2.40)

Step by step Explanation

✓We can denote the number of days library book is late = X,

✓We can denote the the total fee = Y.

We were told $0.30 fee is charged at midnight.

Then for lateness for just 1day,the charged fees= 1day ×

$0.30

For X number of days the charged fees= Xday ×$0.30

Therefore, total charge for lateness for X number of days late = Y.

Then can be expressed as

Y= 0.30 * Xeqn(1)

We can now test the option one after the other

FIRST OPTION (-3, -0.9)

Here we should know the number of days cannot be negative so there is no need of testing in the equation (1)

SECOND OPTION (-2.5, -0.75)

Here we should know the number of days cannot be negative so there is no need of testing in the equation (1)

THIRD OPTION(4.5, 1.35)

here the number of days will definitely be a whole number not 4.5, it's either

charge for 4 days or 5 days.

FORTH OPTION (8, 2.40)

this should be correct because the number of days is whole number and not negative, then if we test it from our equation it satisfy the equation too

Y= 0.30 * Xeqn(1)

Y= 0.30 * X

2.40= 0.30 * 8

2.40 = 2.40.

Therefore, (8, 2.40) is the answer
