Answer:
One extra day: 3$
Fixed charge: 10$
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that:
- The first two days have a fixed charge
- Lakita paid 22$ for a book kept for 6 days
- Anad paid 16$ for a book kept for 4 days
Therefore, the charge of two additional days = 22 - 16 = 6$
Hence, the charge of one extra day is:
6/2 = 3$
Therefore, the fixed charge for the first 2 days is:
16 - 3(2) = 10$
