Question

Easton is driving to a concert and needs to pay for parking. There is an

automatic fee of $8 just to enter the parking lot, and when he leaves the lot,
he will have to pay an additional $3 for every hour he had his car in the lot.
How much total money would Easton have to pay for parking if he left his car
in the lot for 2 hours? How much would Easton have to pay if he left his car in
the lot for t hours?

Answer 1

If he left the car in the lot for 2 hours, he would have to pay 14 dollars. if he left it for "t" hours, he would have to pay 11 + 3t dollars

Explanation:

Think of it like this: "a" represents the total amount of money Easton will spend, t represents time in hours. $11 + $3*t = a

Answer 2

For 2 hours he would pay $14
8+(3*2) =14

For t hours
8+ 3t
