Question

shira parks her car at the city center parking lot from 10:15am am to 3:10pm the rate is $1.50 for the first hour and $1.00 for each additional hour or partial hour how much does shira have to pay?

Answer 1

$5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to know how many hours are from 10:15 am to 3:10 pm.

So, we will write 3:10 pm in 24 hours format as:

3:10 pm = 15: 10

Then, 15:10 is also equivalent to 14: 70 because:

10 minutes + 60 minutes = 70 minutes

Now, we can subtract 10:15 from 14:70 as:

14: 70

10: 15

4 : 55

So, Shira parks her car for 4 hours and 55 minutes.

Then, the amount that she has to pay can be calculated as:

$1.50(1 hour) + $1.00(3 hours) + $1.00(1 partial hour)

$1.50 + $3.00 + $1.00

$5.5

Then, the answer is $5.5
