Question

Jim spent $13 to park for 5 hours. The parking garage charges a base rate of $4 for the first two 2 hours, and then an hourly rate for each additional hour, h. The equation 3h + 4 = 13 models Jim's parking cost. How much does each additional hour of parking cost? A) $2.50 B) $3 C) $4.50 D) $5

Answer 1

13-4 is 9 5-2 is 3 9 divided by 3 is 3 so B is the answer

Answer 2

h = 3horas

Explanation:

If the total cost of parking for h hours, additional to the first two hours, is given by: C (h) = 3h +4 and it is known that Jim has paid $ 13, then you can calculate the value of h that generated a cost from $ 13 from:

(C(h) - 4) / 3 = h

(13 - 4) / 3 = h

9/3 = 3 = h

therefore, it can be concluded that h = 3
