A parking garage charges $3 for each of the first three hours. After three hours, the charge is $7 per hour. What is the total cost for five hours of parking?
Which strategy would help solve this word problem?
Write the equation (3 Times $3) + (5 Times $7) = total cost of five hours.
Write the equation (3 Times $3) + (2 Times $7) = total cost of five hours.
Write the equation (3 Times $3) Times (5 Times $7) = total cost of five hours.
Write the equation (5 Times $3) – (3 Times $7) = total cost of five hours.
