PREP数学

A certain library assesses fines for overdue books as follows: On the first day that a book is overdue, the total fine is $0.10; For each additional day that the book is overdue, the total fine is either increased by $0.30 or doubled, whichever results in the lesser amount. What is the total fine for a book on the fourth day it is overdue?

$0.60
$0.70
$0.80
$0.90
$1.0
KEY:$0.70
我做的是0.1+0.3*3=1
                0.1*2*2*2=0.8
所以选$0.80
请指教!

楼主解错题了。不是三天全部计算后才选哪个较少,而是一天一天地计。

第一天罚 $0.10。
第二天罚 $0.20,因为比 $0.30 少。
第三天罚 $0.40,因为比 $0.20 + $0.30 少。
第四天罚 $0.40 + $0.30,因为比 $0.80 少。
