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?

(A) $0.60

(B) $0.70

(C) $0.80

(D) $0.90

(E) $1.00


其实这一题很简单,不过里面的一句话让我很困扰
答案是这样的
1st : $0.1;
2nd: min{0.1+0.3, 0.1*2} = 0.2;
3rd: min{0.2+0.3, 0.2*2} = 0.4;
4th: min{0.4+0.3, 0.4*2} = 0.7
如果按照第一种方式,就是total fine increased by 0.3,第一天就是0.1,第二天按照答案说的,是0.2+0.3。可是问题是为什么是0.2而不是0.4+0.3呢?total fine应不应该理解为total fine of previous day....那个0.2是怎么出来的,感谢啊给位!

+0.3 和 *2 是二选一的关系,不同时存在

第二天是0.1+0.3 或 0.1*2 ,就是0.4或0.2,所以-->0.2

你所说的0.2+0.3是“和”,不是“或”,理解错了吧...
