Question

The table shows the fees to park in a parking lot.

first hour = $1
second hour = $1.50
each additional hour or part of an hour = $2.
How much does it cost to park for 4 1/2 hours?

Answer 1

$7.50

Explanation:

4 1/2 hours total

1st hour = $1.00 ; 3 1/2 hrs remaining

2nd hour = $1.50 ; 2 1/2 hrs remaining

after 2 hours you pay $2 per hour so 2.5 x 2 = $5.00
