Question

A parking garage in the city charges $2.75 for the first hour and $1.25 for each additional hour, x. Write and solve an inequality to find the maximum time of additional hours that Tony can park his car at the garage if he wants to pay less than $8. and i have another question

Answer 1

4 hours

Explanation:

→ Write inequality

2.75 + 1.25x < 8

→ Minus 2.75 from both sides

1.25x < 5.25

→ Divide both sides by 1.25

x < 4

Answer 2

.The inequality is given by:

`2.75+1.25t<8`

Subtract 2.75 from both sides of the inequality:

`\begin{gathered} 2.75-2.75+1.25t\lt8-2.75 \\ 1.25t\lt5.25 \\ \text{ Divide both sides by }1.25 \\ (1.25t)/(1.25)\lt(5.25)/(1.25) \\ t\lt4.2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the maximum time of additional hour is 4
