Answer 1

Option C

The first two hours cost $4. Between two hours and six hours cost $2 per hour, and all hours after that cost $1.

Explanation:

From the first part of the graph we can see that there is a flat rate of $4 for the first two hours. So the first two hours cost $4.

We can eliminate options A and B leaving C and D as only possible options.

Look at the second part of the graph

Between 2 hours and 6 hours(difference of 4 hours), the cost increases from $4 to $8 or an increase of $8

So rate per hour is $8/4 = $ 2 per hour between 2 hours and 6 hours

This information alone is enough to eliminate D but let's go to the rate beyond 6 hours just to make sure. This is the third part of the graph

Between 6 and 7 hours (1 hour) we can see the cost goes from $12 to $13 or a difference of $1. This means for every hour after 6 hours, the rate is $1 per hour.

So option C is the correct choice
