Since the initial value is not given in the table, we cannot determine the specific amount of the initial fine.

Answer 4

Looking at the pattern, we can see that the difference in fines between consecutive days overdue is increasing by 15 cents each time (30 cents to 45 cents is an increase of 15 cents, and 45 cents to 60 cents is also an increase of 15 cents). Therefore, the initial value should be 0 cents.
