The video-rental store charges $2.00 for the first day a rented video is overdue and $1.25 for each day after that. If a person paid $8.25 in late fees, how many days was the video overdue?
6 days.
7 days.
4 days.
5 days.
Detailed Explanation
Subtract the first day’s late charge from the total: 8.25 – 2.00 = 6.25. Then divide the remainder by 1.25 to determine the number of additional days the video was overdue: 6.25 ÷ 1.25 = 5. Add those 5 days to the first day the video was late, to find that the video was 6 days overdue.
