Final answer:
The specific cost of parking for 2 hours and 4.5 hours cannot be determined without the hourly rate or fixed fee for the parking garage. The example of Aaron's Word Processing Service uses a one-time charge and an hourly rate to create a cost equation, but similar information is needed for the parking scenario.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question is about determining the cost of parking for a given number of hours. To answer this, we could use an equation representing the cost based on the number of parking hours, similarly to how we would outline the cost for service jobs that have a flat fee and an hourly rate. Unfortunately, the provided information does not include a specific equation for the parking cost and does not give the hourly rate. In the case of Aaron's Word Processing Service, we have a one-time charge and a per-hour rate, resulting in the equation y = 31.50 + 32x.
To solve a problem regarding parking, assume that we have a similar situation in which there is a fixed cost and an hourly rate. If, for example, the parking garage charges a flat fee plus a per-hour rate, the equation would resemble the word processing cost equation. However, without the actual rates or fixed fees for parking, we cannot determine the cost for 2 hours or 4.5 hours of parking.
