Question

at 1:30 p.m ms, Kwan found a parking meter that still had 10 minutes until it expired she put 2 quarts into the meter and went to her meeting. if 10 cents buys 15 minutes of parking time, at what time will the meter expire?

Answer 1

2:55 P.M
Step-by-Step-Explanation:

If she can get 15 minutes for 10 cents, since she put in two quarters (50 cents) then that’s equivalent to 75 minutes (1 hour 15 minutes). Though, she already has 10 minutes because of the last person who used it. Therefore, she will have a total of 85 minutes (1 hour 25 minutes) before it expires. Therefore, it will expire at 2:55 P.M
