Question

Xochitl 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 she leaves the lot, she will have to pay an additional $2 for every hour she had her car in the lot. How much total money would Xochitl have to pay for parking if she left her car in the lot for 6 hours? How much would Xochitl have to pay if she left her car in the lot for t hours?

Answer 1

$20, 2h + 8

Explanation:

additional hours*$2 + $8

2h+8

Answer 2

Answer:after 6 hours=$20

Cost for t hours=8+2t

Step-by-step explanation:after 6 hours

Automatic fee=8

Parking charges =cost per hour x 6

=2x6

=12

Total cost = automatic fee+parking charges

=8+12

=$20

Cost for t hours

automatic fee=8

parking charges= cost per hour×t

=2×t

 

=2t

total cost=automatic fee+parking charges

=8+2t 

or

=2t+8
